First look rehearsal images have been released for Ken Ludwig’s BASKERVILLE! opening as part of Mercury Theatre’s opening season in its newly refurbished venue. The production opens on 5 August, with previews from 30 July, and runs until 22 August.
Creative Director of Mercury Theatre Ryan McBryde directs Richard Ede (Sherlock Holmes), Marc Pickering (Stapleton and others), Eric Stroud (Doctor Watson), Eva-Jane Willis (Miss Stapleton and others), Phil Yarrow (Sir Henry and others).
40 characters. 5 actors. 1 madcap adventure for the world’s most famous detective!
This is a thrilling new look at Sherlock Holmes. On the murky moors of Devonshire, heirs to the Baskerville name are being killed, one by one. Some say it’s a family curse. Some say it’s a murderous hellhound. Some say it’s a load of old nonsense. A case like this can be solved by only one man…or…actually…two – so don your deerstalkers because Holmes and Watson are on the case!
I hope it doesn’t open on the 5th we have tickets for the 4th !
‘Opening Night’ is not usually the first night of a run. Baskerville runs from 30th July but has its official opening night on the 5th.
