Event - "The Hound Of The Baskervilles" presented by British Touring Shakespeare
====
====
Following on from their hugely successful 2020 summer season of The Two Gentlemen Of Verona, which was among the first socially distanced live performances to go ahead in the UK after the country was plunged into lockdown by the pandemic, British Touring Shakespeare are excited to bring their renowned strengths of energy and accessibility to a brand new adaptation of this well loved mystery.
Following the death of Sir Charles Baskerville in mysterious circumstances, the family doctor James Mortimer comes to seek the help of world famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty assistant Dr Watson in ensuring the safety of the last of the family line as he moves into his ancestral home on Dartmoor. Can Holmes and Watson get to the bottom of the legend of the fiendish hound that is said to haunt the Baskerville family before it is too late?
This was excellent: an afternoon under a blue, Swallow-filled sky in nice, relaxed surroundings watching a superb, and very funny, production. @BTSFacsimile managed to sweep the plague from the land for an afternoon! Thank you @_Tim_Ashton and the team for the #onfarmculture 🙂 https://t.co/erf5jg2age
