The Hound of the Baskervilles

The brilliant Sherlock Holmes and his trusted associate Dr John Watson face their greatest challenge: to investigate the mystery of the giant hound, apparently on the loose on Dartmoor, that supposedly stalks the Baskerville family. Along the way they uncover an ancient family curse that dates over several generations.

Sir Charles of Baskerville dies on the moors of his family estate, with a look of abject fear on his face and the presence of animal’s footprints around his corpse. As the new heir Sir Henry Baskerville takes up residence at the estate, Holmes and Watson arrive to investigate.

The Hound of the Baskervilles by Tim Kelly, adapted from the novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, directed by Frances Guy, ran for three nights at the village hall.

Performed by Exeter Drama Company on 5th–7th December 2024.
