Adaptor and director Martin Parsons said: "We originally staged this brand new adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles in 2022 to commemorate the 120th anniversary of its publication.

"But such was the popularity of the tour with audiences that we’re delighted to be returning to theatres in 2024.

"The key to its success was the pitch-perfect performances of Colin Baker and Terry Molloy in their portrayals of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.

"We’re in for another treat and I’m thrilled to be able to bring two such fine actors together again on stage in these iconic roles," Mr Parsons said.

Tickets are available on the theatre's websites or at their box offices.
