Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic Sherlock Holmes tale, in a wildly enjoyable, fun-filled comedy mystery.

When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead in the grounds of Baskerville Hall, his family estate on Dartmoor, with a look of terror carved 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 loyal Dr Watson in tow, the legendary sleuths must unravel the mystery,  and crack the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles.

After a sell-out run at Bristol’s ‘Tobacco Factory Theatre’, The Hound of the Baskervilles is brought vividly to life at the King’s Head, produced & directed by award-winning director Steven Clarke and written by Olivier Award nominees Steven Canny and John Nicholson.
