THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES
Xenia Area Community Theatre
Oct. 27-Nov. 5
Xenia
Directed by Tony Copper
Cast: Russ Derns as Sherlock Holmes, Brian Laughlin as Dr. John Watson, Kari Higgins as Lady Agatha Mortimer, Patrick Taylor as Sir Henry Baskerville, Kyle Mercuri as Perkins, Michael Schumacher as Barrymore, Judi Earley as Mrs. Barrymore, Brian Louis as Jack Stapleton, Olivia Ekler as Kathy Stapleton & Kylee Pauley as Laura Lyons
Holmes’ most spine-chilling mystery is placed in a modern setting in this version – with suspense, humor, and terror. Sir Henry is heir to the vast Baskerville fortune, a legacy that comes with a family curse: death at the fangs of a horror that prowls the moor. Only Holmes can stop the beast. While mysterious lights signal Baskerville Hall and the hound terrifies the countryside, the sleuthing begins and suspicion falls on sinister servants, butterfly collectors, ladies in distress, and escaped convicts. Who wrote the letter that summoned the hound? Is Sir Henry’s romance with the lovely Kathy doomed? Is the supernatural at work?

Anna and Claire are two bantering, scheming “women of fashion” who have long lived together on the fringes of upper-class society. Anna has just become the mistress of a wealthy man, from whom she has received an enormous emerald and an income to match. Claire, meanwhile, is infatuated with a respectable young lady and wants to
enlist the jealous Anna’s help for an assignation. As the two women exchange barbs and take turns taunting Anna’s hapless Scottish parlor maid, Claire’s young inamorata suddenly appears, setting off a crisis that puts both the valuable emerald and the women’s futures at risk.
