Baskerville by Ken Ludwig

Produced at Missouri State University’s Tent Theatre as part of the inaugural season in the new John Goodman Amphitheatre. This comic version of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle classic is a zany ”fast-paced comedy about everyone’s favorite detective solving his most notorious case. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson must crack the mystery of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" before a family curse dooms its newest heir.”
