Description of the play
The male heirs of the Baskerville line are killed one after the other. To find their ingenious killer, Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick, Dr. John Watson, must roam the desolate moors before a family curse dooms its most recent heir. Six actors skillfully portray nearly 40 characters, navigating through a dizzying array of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit. Join the fun as comedic genius Ken Ludwig transforms Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic ”The Hound of the Baskervilles” into a murderously funny adventure.
About the Theater Company
The Tokyo International Players (TIP) was founded in 1896. Its members have mainly been made up of talent from the Tokyo foreign community, but Japanese cast members and supporting staff have also played key roles.
The organization, 100% volunteer-run, provides quality English-language entertainment for international audiences. Over its long history, many active members have appeared in professional theatre in Japan and abroad.
TIP is always looking for new on-stage talent, directors, designers, and backstage crew, as well as people to support their various front-of-house, fundraising, and promotional activities. They consider enthusiasm, energy, and a fun-loving nature to be more important than experience.
