Gateway Theatre is thrilled to present Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, an uproarious comedy with a fresh and lively take on the legendary tale of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles.
From the award-winning master of mayhem Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) comes a fast-paced, pulse-pounding comedy like no other. Directed by Barbara Tomasic, this production promises a rollercoaster of laughter, suspense, and wit on Gateway Theatre’s Mainstage from April 11 to 20.
About Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery
In this retelling of the Victorian whodunit, Sherlock Holmes (Genevieve Fleming) and Dr. Watson (Gerry Mackay) embark on a riveting adventure to solve the baffling mystery surrounding Sir Charles Baskerville’s death.
The audience will find themselves on the edge of their seats, eagerly guessing at every twist and turn. Joining Fleming and Mackay, Andrew Cownden, Mack Gordon, and Melissa Oei take on nearly 40 different characters, darting on and off the stage in this delightfully complex plot. Watch the intrepid investigators try to decipher a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit, all while giving the audience a performance filled with laughs as they follow along this murderously funny adventure.
Barbara Tomasic (Anne of Green Gables – The Musical™) directs this production. The creative team includes Lighting Designer Kevin Tanner and Sound Designer Steve Marsh. Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery is stage managed by Philomena Sondergaard with Assistant Stage Manager Scarlett Larry.
