Theatre - The Hound Of The Baskervilles
Last night I saw Peepolykus’s adaptation of The Hound Of The Baskervilles at the Duchess Theatre in London’s West End. It was a barmy, bonkers and brilliant evening, with a cast of just three playing a number of characters and a Spanish Sherlock Holmes which shouldn’t have worked…but did.
Tickets for the first 20 shows of the production - Monday-Friday until May 8 - are being sold for £20 each and they’re well worth it. It’s obviously not a traditional production of the story, but I laughed almost the whole way through. Between The 39 Steps, Spamalot, Avenue Q and now The Hound of the Baskervilles (all of which I found hilarious for lots of different reasons), there seems to be plenty on offer in the West End if you want some fun.
