BASKERVILLE: A SHERLOCK HOLMES MYSTERY
BASKERVILLE, the winner of 2 Tony awards. Get your deerstalker cap on – the play’s afoot! From the award-winning mastermind of mayhem, Ken Ludwig, comes a fast-paced comedy about everyone’s favorite detective solving his most notorious case. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson must crack the mystery of The Hound of the Baskervilles before a family curse dooms its newest heir.
PLEASE NOTE: the role of TRACK THREE has already been cast.
SHERLOCK HOLMES: (Male identifying, 30s – 40s). Highly intelligent, confident, charismatic, quick witted, obsessive. Thinks very highly of his close friend Watson. A sophisticated mind who savors adventure and an intriguing mystery and has a manic gleam of mischief in his eyes. A mind that works overtime. All ethnicities are encouraged to audition.
DOCTOR WATSON: (Male identifying, 30s - 50s). Smart, grounded, and full of heart and wonder, lives to have adventures and assist his close friend Holmes. We see the play through his eyes. The heart and soul of the play. All ethnicities are encouraged to audition.
TRACK ONE: (Male identifying, 20s – 50s) Great versatility and nimbleness physically and vocally (including multiple dialects). Multiple roles (over 10), including STAPLETON (seemingly geeky butterfly lover who conceals a psychopath within), BARRYMORE (mournful caretaker of Baskerville Hall), and DR. MORTIMER (A medical man who brings the case to HOLMES). All ethnicities are encouraged to audition.
TRACK TWO: (Male identifying, 20s - 50s). Great versatility and nimbleness physically and vocally (including multiple dialects). Multiple roles, including SIR HUGO BASKERVILLE (a brutal, cruel Cavalier), WILSON (exuberant, hearty head of messenger office), SIR HENRY BASKERVILLE (young Texan relation to Baskervilles, open-hearted, earnest, ready for adventure and to fall in love), LUCY (loving wife of WILSON), and INSPECTOR LESTRADE (cocky police inspector). All ethnicities are encouraged to audition.
TRACK THREE: CAST
TRACK FOUR: (Female identifying, 20s-50s). Great versatility and nimbleness physically and vocally (including multiple dialects). Multiple roles, including MRS. BARRYMORE (severe, humorless Swedish caretaker of Baskerville Hall), MILKER (scrappy Dickensian urchin boy), LAURA LYONS (owner of a typing establishment; distraught and put upon, melodramatic), and DAISY (a maid with an odd laugh). All ethnicities are encouraged to audition.
