The Hound of the Baskervilles (Oberon Modern Plays)

A bloodcurdling howl is heard across a cold, moonlit moor; the spectral hound has claimed another victim. Sherlock Holmes, the world famous detective of Baker Street, and the ever-reliable Watson are called upon to investigate the legendary plague of Baskerville Manor.

This modern adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles was commissioned by Nottingham and Salisbury Playhouses, and author Clive Francis worked alongside Tim Bird (who created an ingenious projection design) and the director Richard Baron. Subsequent to this initial production, this adaptation completed three UK tours in seven years.
