Get ready to laugh as you dive into a classic Sherlock Holmes mystery at Kanata Theatre’s final production of their 2023/2024 season. Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery runs from May 15th to 25th at 7:30 p.m., with a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday, May 19th.
A humorous adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1902 novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles, the play sees Holmes and Watson investigating the Baskerville family murders: “The male heirs of the Baskerville line are being dispatched one by one. To find their ingenious killer, Holmes and Watson must brave the desolate moors before a family curse dooms its newest heir. Watch as our intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than forty characters.”
Sherlock Holmes – played by Elizabeth Foulds Rodgers – is on the case, joined as always by Dr. Watson – played by Sarah Hearn. Rounding out the cast are Paul Arbour (Actor #1), Gordon Walls (Actor #2), and Jenny Pfilzer (Actor #3) portraying more than forty characters between them.

I’d love to see this. I have never attended a Kanata Theatre production I didn’t enjoy thoroughly.
