Hound of the Baskervilles

The Theatre Company and Octagon Theatre Bolton are touring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Hound of the Baskervilles, adapted for the stage by Steven Canny and John Nicholson.

It was first performed at the Octagon last summer 2021, and a classic detective tale gets a farcical overhaul.

The production heads to The Lowry in Salford February 1-5.

World-renowned detective Sherlock Holmes and his colleague Dr. Watson are asked to unravel the mystery surrounding the untimely death of Sir Charles Baskerville. With rumours of a cursed giant hound loose on the moors, they must act fast in order to save the Baskerville family’s last remaining heir.
