Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of the Baskervilles at the Grand Point Virgule

Based on the novel by Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes, the Hound of the Baskervilles brings one of the detective's most famous cases to the stage. The show is currently running at the Grand Point Virgule through May 3, 2026, offering a condensed and engaging version that appeals to a wide audience.

The story begins with the mysterious death of Charles Baskerville, found dead on the bleak moors of Dartmoor, England. An old legend speaks of a demonic dog that preys on the heirs of the Baskerville family. Confronted with this seemingly supernatural threat, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson set out to investigate, aiming to unravel whether these stories are mere superstition or based on real, rational evidence.

The show blends elements of investigative theatre with fantastical themes, all while maintaining the deductive reasoning characteristic of Conan Doyle's iconic detective. The adaptation emphasizes dramatic tension and ensemble performance, with a staging designed to bring audiences close to the action.
