First Look at upcoming The Hound of the Baskervilles tour

Here’s a first look at the upcoming UK tour of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

The award-winning Original Theatre Company and Octagon Theatre Bolton will present a new tour of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most celebrated adventure in 2021 and 2022.

Adapted for the stage by Steven Canny and John Nicholson for Peepolykus, in a production which was first performed at the Octagon Theatre this summer, the classic detective ta​le gets a brilliantly farcical overhaul in Lotte Wakeham’s acclaimed production.
