An ancient family curse, a desolate moor, a spectral hound and a deranged killer on the loose. The Hound Of The Baskervilles is the most celebrated Holmes story of all, a masterpiece of mystery and suspense. And lord it’s scary...really, really scary.
So have our actors bitten off more than they can chew? With a company of only three and a cast of over twenty (Hell Hound not included) there may be some doubling up of parts and false beards. Tremble at the hellish howl of the Hell Hound, wonder at the twisty-turny plot and be amazed by Holmes' finest powers of deduction in this reinvigorating, terrifying and foggy new adaptation. It’s very foggy. And occasionally silly. But mostly foggy.
Over the past ten years, the award-winning company Peepolykus has received accolades from all over the world for its hilarious collision of verbal surprise and visual ingenuity. Javier Marzan, John Nicholson and Jason Thorpe now take to the moors for this fast paced and thrilling production, in the hope that they will make it out of Grimpen Mire alive.
