You know, it’s so rare that Sherlock Holmes novels get produced on stage. Even stranger is that even though “The Hound of the Baskervilles” is arguably Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most well known Sherlock novel and the most filmed, I rarely hear of any theatre mounting any kind of production of it.
Until now. The Spartanburg Little Theatre has pulled out all the stops with this lush, mysterious, exciting, intriguing and inventive production. We’re talking scenes that disappear into the floor, a 16 foot raised stage that rakes backwards, gothic windows that fly in and out, fog that seems to rise out of the ground and envelope the characters on the moor, and of course an extremely talented group of very excited actors who have worked tirelessly to bring the characters you know so well to life.
