Everyone loves a good Sherlock Holmes mystery and when it’s on stage at the Chemainus Theatre, that’s even better.
Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery runs at the Theatre from May 2 to June 1. The production is a hilarious retelling of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The House of the Baskerville.
Get your deerstalker cap on — the play’s afoot! From multi-award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig comes a fast-paced adventure about everyone’s favorite detective solving his most notorious case. Set in the wind-swept moors of England, the mystery unfolds after the male heirs of a prominent family begin to disappear one by one. Follow along as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson crack the case!
Chemainus Theatre audiences will rediscover a classic story updated into a madcap version where five actors play 40 different characters.
Ken Ludwig may well be the most performed playwright of his generation. Ludwig was inspired by 39 Steps to write Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery. 39 Steps was a Chemainus Theatre Festival audience favourite in 2022, which also wove comedy and mystery together to create a memorable theatrical experience.
Directed by Roy Surette, Sherlock Holmes will be played by Charlie Gallant and joining him as his partner-in-crime solving is Alex Gullason as Dr. Watson. Rounding out the additional cast of 40 characters is Abraham Asto, Jay Clift, and Caitlin Driscoll and witnessing these quick character changes is sure to be a highlight of this production.
