Hound of the Baskervilles at the Seattle Rep

MUST GO

This adaptation of Sherlock Holmes is funny and well acted. Who knew Mrs. Hudson’s first name? I am sure you know the story; it has been on the screen so many times. This brings a freshness that will raise the hairs on the back of your neck when the hound howls.

The real star of the show is the sets.  To switch from Holmes’ drawing room to riding on the train, to Baskerville hall and cellar then out to the moors is truly amazing.

Woof, woof who let the dog out?

Grimpen Mire is actually Fox Tor. The best story is about a local lad making his way across and finding a top hat in the middle. Carefully making his way to recover this prize he discovers a man underneath it! He tries to pull the man out but unable to, the man says, “Wait a minute I will try and get my feet out of my horses’ stirrups.”

Do yourself a favor and get out for some live entertainment.
