Baskerville at the Peninsula Players
Last night, I gave a presentation on Sherlock Holmes for a pre-show seminar at the Peninsula Players’ production of Baskerville, an adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskerville, played comedically with a cast of five. Two actors play Holmes and Watson, and three actors each take on multiple additional roles each.
My pre-show lecture covered numerous topics connected to Sherlock Holmes, ranging from real-life forensic science, to copyright issues, to famous portrayals of the Great Detective. For more on the contentious relationship between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his most famous creation, please check out my article “Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: The Man Who Couldn’t Kill Sherlock Holmes,” written for the Peninsula Players.
If you’re in the Door County area of Wisconsin before mid-October, please consider stopping by the Peninsula Players and seeing Baskerville!
