Suspense, wit and British humor: With Baskerville - A Sherlock Holmes Thriller, the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Landestheater transforms the famous classic about the "Hound of the Baskervilles" into a turbulent theatrical experience full of surprises.
Who killed Sir Charles Baskerville? He lies lifeless outside his manor house with a look of horror on his face and the footprints of a gigantic monster next to him. This can only be a case for Sherlock Holmes! He and his faithful companion John Watson encounter a family under a deadly curse, the legend of a bloodthirsty hellhound and a village full of peculiar characters, each of whom could have their own reasons for the murder. Was it Sir Charles' oddball butler Barrymore? Was it Dr. Mortimer, the helpful village doctor? Or the quickly arrived and always good-humored Texan Henry Baskerville, who wants to take up his inheritance?
Ken Ludwig turns Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic "The Hound of the Baskervilles" into a fast-paced comedy with new and surprising twists. This is due not least to the 36 lovingly eccentric roles played by just five actors. In BASKERVILLE, you can laugh and puzzle with high tension until the curtain falls.
