A bloodcurdling howl is heard across a cold, moonlit moor; the spectral hound has claimed another victim.
Sir Hugo Baskerville was the picture of aristocratic excess, drunkenness and debauchery until he was struck down by a demonic hound sent to punish his wickedness, or so the legend tells. Two hundred years later his descendant Sir Charles apparently meets a similar fate, dying of fright in the grounds of Baskerville Hall. Can Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson solve the mystery of the Hound Of The Baskervilles before Sir Charles’ heir comes to an equally gruesome end?
"Oldham Coliseum Theatre & Imitating The Dog have come up with a multi-media pageant which keeps the story on the move while surrounding (but never overwhelming) the five-strong cast with appropriate images evoking time and places." WHATSONSTAGE.COM ***** (Read the full review)
"All the images, cleverly coloured and textured, meld qualities of animation and reality into a coherent storyscape. The effects are chillingly atmospheric." THE OBSERVER (Read the full review)
