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.
