‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’ is presented as a radio play, performed live on stage. 

One of the treats of 2022 was the opportunity to see Colin Baker and Terry Molloy swap from their roles as the Doctor and Davros to play Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson on stage.

The pair toured in The Crime and Comedy Theatre Company‘s version of ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles,’ and now the show is back on tour again this April, according to downthetubes.net.

The famous tale is presented as a radio-play-live-on-stage, with sound effects created live. Here’s our review of the show from 2022.

“The legend of the Hound Of The Baskervilles has haunted the Baskerville family for generations – none more so than Sir Charles Baskerville, who died in mysterious circumstances worthy of the legend. This leads Doctor Mortimer to consult Sherlock Holmes & Doctor Watson, in the hope of preventing the heir to the Baskerville estate, Sir Henry, from suffering the same fate. But the supernatural seems a very long way from 221B Baker Street…

However, once Holmes & Watson journey to isolated Baskerville Hall, the line between reality and the legend becomes blurred. Death, doom and myth surround them – what is the secret of the butler in the night, whose is the mysterious lantern that shines in the darkness, and what hellish apparition stalks Dartmoor with murderous intent?”

As well as the performances, there’s also the chance to spend an evening with the cast at The Old Laundry in Bowness-on-Windermere.
