houndsco09kspra_128-sized Our fall production The Hound of the Baskervilles opened this weekend with enthusiastic—and full—houses! The reviews so far have been similarly exciting:

“If your idea of fun is two hours of laugh upon laugh, you’re guaranteed a good time.”
—Boston Globe

“Laugh-out-loud funny all the way though. Amazingly entertaining.”
—Berkshire Living

“Part Monty Python, partly Marx Brothers, and totally screwy. This is a show for all ages, and not to be missed. Shakespeare & Company still makes theatre more than fun, they make it downright hilarious. The Hound of the Baskervilles is the funniest Sherlock Holmes mystery that you will ever see.”
—Berkshire Fine Arts
