The
Octagon’s Artistic Director, Lotte Wakeham commented
“We are thrilled to be able to make available a digital version of
The Hound of the Baskervilles. The show has proven incredibly
popular with live audiences, but we also understand that some
people may not feel comfortable or be able to return in person to
the theatre. We pride ourselves at the Octagon on being inclusive,
accessible and a theatre for all, so wanted to ensure that those
people who are unable to visit us in person at this time still have
the opportunity to catch the show. It’s a wonderfully funny, fast
paced comedy that promises a great night out or in!”

Reuben Johnson, Simon Kane and Polly Lister, The
Hound of the Baskervilles is directed by Lotte Wakeham
and adapted for the stage by Steven Canny and John
Nicholson.

creative team includes: set and costume design by David Woodhead,
lighting design by Derek Anderson, sound design by Andy
Graham and assistant direction by Francesca Tennant.
