This demanding but hilarious play calls for versatile actors.
It is the traditional story of the Hound of the Baskerville but unfolds through the actions of a multitude of characters played by an ensemble of four actors. The plot changes on a dime from the moors to a train, to the streets of London and obviously to 221B Baker Street. Changes of character, accent and costume occur at lightning speed. The two main characters, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are on stage 99% of the time. They are known characters (from literature) but not stereotypes.
To me, this play epitomized theatre at its most exciting: characters and stories that emerge on a relatively bare stage and within the audience’s imagination.

Sherlock Holmes – Male 35-65
