Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most celebrated Sherlock Holmes story gets a gloriously funny makeover:
When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with a look of terror still etched on his face, and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body, the great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned from Baker Street, with Dr Watson in tow, to unravel the mysteries surrounding his death, and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles...
Packed full of the verbal and visual ingenuity the production offers abundant opportunities for silly comedy and slapstick, a barking spoof is all set to be a howling success!
