Our Next Eagerly Awaited Production
(Now definitely in the pipeline (well the studio))
THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES
by Dr John H. Watson, as told to Arthur Conan Doyle and parodied for your amusement by Peter Wear.
|
The genesis of the story of The Hound of the Baskervilles is well known to buffs and can be sourced elsewhere!
The accepted 'original' version, ostensibly written by Dr. Watson, appears to have been heavily doctored (!) by Arthur Conan Doyle so as to preserve the public image of his enigmatic hero Sherlock Holmes, even though recent research has uncovered another version, believed by some to be the good doctor's original manuscript, as it has clearly been written by someone with a war wound.
The Company's production is based on this version, which shows Watson in a singularly humorous vein, and it follows the published version more closely than any other of the many and varied interpretations of the yarn.
Listen to a taster of the opening exchanges between Holmes and Watson in their rooms in Baker Street.
