Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery

Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous case turns into a quick-change farce in Ken Ludwig's Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery. A cast of five plays more than 40 characters as Holmes and Watson chase the legend of the hound across the moors. Ludwig's Lend Me a Tenor won two Tonys on Broadway, and he received Asolo Rep's Luminary Award in 2025. Here he keeps real suspense running under the disguises and outlandish accents, and he makes the Baskerville heir a Texan. The play premiered in 2015 as a co-production of Arena Stage and McCarter Theatre. Chari Arespacochaga, whose credits include Primary Trust, directs Asolo Rep's staging in the Mertz Theatre.
