Description
The play’s afoot in Ken Ludwig’s transformation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Hound of the Baskervilles” into a murderously funny adventure. Ludwig, the master of comedy who created such HTC hits as “Lend Me a Tenor” (1993), “Moon Over Buffalo” (2008) and last season’s “Comedy of Tenors,” has Sherlock Holmes investigating the fatal curse afflicting the male heirs of the Baskerville line.
In the search for the ingenious killer, Holmes and Watson must try to sort out a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit as three actors in the cast of five deftly portray some 40 characters.
A reviewer for Broadway World proclaimed that “the joy is not in solving the crime but in the plethora of wildly imaginative characters you meet along the way … a play that is ingeniously funny and will keep you guessing until the curtain call."
Note
“Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery” will be the first play of the Hampton Theatre Company’s 2019-2020 season, opening on October 24 at the Quogue Community Hall and running through November 10.
An additional matinee performance will be offered during the final weekend of the production, on Saturday, November 9, prior to the regular 8 p.m. performance that evening. A talkback with the cast will be offered following the Friday, November1, 7 p.m. performance.
