Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson journey to the English countryside to investigate the mysterious case of the Baskerville family. One by one the male heirs are dropping dead. But why? And who—or what—is responsible? In this hilarious and madcap take on the most famous detective of all time, a trio of actors play a dozen roles in a production that is a master class in funny and perfect for the Halloween season.

LANGUAGE: The word “hell” is used, as in “…some demon hound from hell.” Barrymore says, “Who gives a shit,” which will be changed for student matinees. Sir Henry says, “Ow, you bastard.” which will be changed for student matinees.

USE OF ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO: The characters drink brandy and smoke cigars and pipes.

VIOLENCE: A character holds a gun and fires it. A character is frightened to death (comically) by the hound.

FOR WHICH AUDIENCE?: It is most appropriate for 8th graders and up.

RATING: If it were a movie, the student matinees of The Hound of the Baskervilles would be rated “PG-13.”
