SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS EVERYWHERE
The Hound of the Baskervilles
Thursday April 18 – Saturday April 20, at 7.30pm
The Hound of the Baskervilles will be staged by Claygate Dramatic Society in April. Adapted from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original Sherlock Holmes story by Steven Canny and John Nicholson, this production is described by The Telegraph as “A wonderfully barking spoof”. Expect all the usual characters – Holmes, Dr Watson and Sir Henry Baskerville – plus a host of suspicious characters.
There is dark foreboding and plenty of laughs as Holmes and Watson try to uncover the mystery surrounding the legend of a gigantic hound. Can they stop Sir Henry being attacked? Will they fall prey to Dartmoor’s dreaded Grimpen Mire? And who is the mysterious stranger who appears uncannily out of the mist?
For the answer to all these questions and more, come along to Claygate Village Hall. The show runs from Thursday April 18 to Saturday 20 at 7.30pm, plus a matinee at 3.30pm on the Saturday.
Tickets are £20, including a fish and chip supper provided by the Claygate Fish Inn, or £12 for the manee (no meal). A vegetarian option is available. The bar opens from 6.45pm for the evening performances. And the Box Office opens on Monday March 11.

EXCITING NEWS FOR YOUNG PERFORMERS
Claygate Dramatic Society is re-introducing Juniors at Claygate (JACS). The idea is to give younger members aged eight to 15 the opportunity to stage their own production. We will also cover all areas of theatre. The sessions are open to all, but if you are not already a member of CDS you will be asked to pay a £5 annual junior subscription.
The group will meet on Thursday evenings at Claygate Village Hall from 7pm-9pm, starting on May 2, with a performance on Saturday July 6 in the evening. Please contact Dawn Lacey at taptastic69@hotmail.co.uk or on 07394 601028. And spread the word!
