“Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery” by Ken Ludwig is a rollicking, raucous piece of theater that stays specific and detailed and fairly true to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original classic, "The Hound of the Baskervilles" even though Ludwig puts his own twist on the famous story.
Intrigue and mystery fit for the greatest detective of all time and his famous assistant is backed by 43 other characters who help with the laughter as they are all played by only three actors. Obviously, it’s a wonderful farce. The Playmakers help it along by gender-bending the leading roles.
It’s a play clearly held together by under-dressing and Velcro. It will need a crack backstage crew if there are any volunteers out there. Give us a call.

Playwright Richard Strand lets us be a fly on the wall viewing a turning point in our history. His protagonist in this insightful and entertaining play is a real person, a Major General in the Union Army during the Civil War. The story is about a real event when a slave risked everything to secure Butler’s help at an incredibly tense moment in American history.
