Auditions: The Hound of the Baskervilles

A demonic hound appears to be terrorising the heirs of the Baskerville family, whose home borders the wastes of Dartmoor. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are implored by a friend of Sir Henry Baskerville to investigate the curse. A comedic take on the story sees an energetic cast of three bring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous story to life in an interpretation that will amuse and terrify its audience in equal measure.

All the roles are played by three actors who need to be highly versatile, capable of doing a number of different accents and characterisations, excellent at business (working with props and choreography) and with plenty of stamina. The show will be played very fast and we may swap roles during the actual performances.

There is no age or gender restriction on who can audition and each member of the cast will play a number of different roles:
Sir Charles Baskerville - a Devonian aristocrat
Sherlock Holmes - the world’s best detective
Dr Watson - his sidekick
Sir Henry Baskerville - Canadian heir to the Baskerville inheritance
