Two seasons ago, ACT Theatre presented Double Indemnity, an adaptation of James M. Cains famous murder mystery with a twist. It had been rewritten for the stage by two of Seattles favorite actors, David Pichette and R. Hamilton Wright. The noir-ish production won raves in Seattle and more acclaim in San Jose, California, giving Pichette and Wright sufficient reason to continue their adaptive partnership in the mystery genre.

This time its elementary as Seattle Repertory Theatre presents the pairs take on The Hound of the Baskervilles, Sir Arthur Conan Doyles classic tale of canine-induced mayhem on the moor. Darragh Kennan and Andrew McGinn star as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, respectively, each eager to get to the bottom of the Baskerville curse. Allison Narver directs.
