Murder. Mayhem. A mysterious moor. A homicidal hellhound. Creaky old houses and spooky house servants. These gothic archetypes may not be the most obvious recipe for a comedy, but as whipped together by the team at Everyman Theatre, Ken Ludwig\u2019s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery<\/em> is an uproariously funny confection of diversion, silliness, and a great time \u2014 a perfect Holmes-for-the-holiday farce.<\/p>\n

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\u2019s most famous novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles,<\/em> moves from high Edwardian romantic mystery (with all the gothic trappings of Bront\u00eban novels) into a lightning-paced slapstick in the ever-capable hands of beloved DC playwright Ken Ludwig, maybe America\u2019s foremost comedic writer for the stage.<\/p>\n

Ludwig\u2019s Baskerville <\/em>had its world premiere at Arena Stage in 2015 in a co-production with McCarter Theatre Center in New Jersey. It\u2019s more than a fitting homecoming to bring this play back to the region \u2014 with Ludwig in attendance on opening night \u2014 and the whole hardworking and talented cast, creative team, and crew of this production all living and working in the DMV.<\/p>\n

The play is afoot! Let\u2019s try to untangle this knot quickly. In this OG \u201ccurious incident of the dog in the nighttime,\u201d Sherlock and Watson are asked to investigate the mysterious death of the late Sir Charles Baskerville. The only clues for an unnatural death were the horrified grimace on his face and the incredibly large puppy pawprints all around his body. Sherlock \u2014 preoccupied with another famous case (\u201cA Scandal in Bohemia\u201d) \u2014 sends Watson to accompany Dr. Mortimer (the friend of the late Baron, played by Bruce Randolph Nelson) and the new heir \u2014 Sir Henry Baskerville (Drew Kopas) \u2014 to investigate the mystery and the myth of the infamous hound. Red herrings, false starts, shady characters, a budding romance, and perfidious identities lead to a lot of mix-ups before the case is resolved.<\/p>\n

The twisty and turny plot is beside the point. Either you already know and love the Sherlock stories (and there is no mystery to solve) or this is all new to you \u2014 the more fun then! \u2014 but it\u2019s not so much a Whodunit as a Howmuchfun madcap mystery.<\/p>\n

In her Everyman debut, former Artistic Director of the Cleveland Play House Laura Kepley dizzyingly directs the comedy \u2014 somehow organizing the chaos while also letting loose the reins. Her vision seems to be Sir Arthur Conan Boyle by way of Monty Python absurdity (silly walks included) with several dashes of Mel Brooks\u2019 broad burlesque (we are only missing an \u201cIt\u2019s good to be the king!\u201d line).<\/p>\n

Danny Gavigan plays arguably the world\u2019s most famous fictional detective Sherlock as haughty and more than a bit unhinged (he has several tantrums), while Tony Nam plays Dr. Watson as the straight man, our only link to rationality in an utterly mad world populated with absolutely bonkers characters. As Sherlock is missing for much of the play, Watson must put on the metaphorical deerstalker cap, gather clues, and keep his wits, and it all seems elementary to Nam \u2014 who is, by turns stoic, inquisitive, and exasperated.<\/p>\n

The rest of the cast \u2014 Megan Anderson, Drew Kopas, and Bruce Randolph Nelson \u2014 play over 40 different characters with 69 quick changes occurring backstage (and sometimes on). From servants to opera singers, shopkeepers and shepherdesses, villains and even damsels in distress, the cast discard their glue-on mustaches and clip-on beards and don new wigs, capes, and accents: from various London social classes as well as a Scottish brogue, a Gaelic trill, a Castilian lisp, a High German growl with \u201cv\u201d\/\u201dw\u201d switch, and even a Texan drawl. Once in the moors, Kopas gets a little break by mostly playing one character, the affable and trigger-happy Texan heir Henry Baskerville, a true fish-out-of-water type, while Anderson and Nelson pair off, first as the creepy housekeepers, Mr. and Mrs. Barrymore, and then as the ill-matched siblings, the unbalanced naturalist Jack Stapleton and his enchanting sister Beryl. What brilliant and broad performances from this game team of incredibly gifted comedic actors!<\/p>\n

In one dizzying scene as Holmes and Watson visit various London hotels searching for clues, Nelson switches from one of the key secondary characters, the staid Dr. Mortimer, to a flirty and hard-of-hearing shopkeeper\u2019s wife to a Castilian concierge to a Dickensian street urchin and back to Dr. Mortimer in less than four minutes. (Anderson and Kopas also dash around in two or three guises each during this same breakneck scene, including Anderson pulling off a great Maggie Simpson impression as a pacifier-chomping baby in a pram). At times, the farce seems an exercise in, well, exercise as the cast members engage in silly walks, climb up the set, faint (at least a dozen times), and literally chase each other around in circles.<\/p>\n

David Burdick, the play\u2019s costume designer; Gary Logan, dialect coach; Denise O\u2019Brien, wig designer; and Lewis Shaw, fight and intimacy coordinator, all deserve accolades for their talents and work in aiding the small cast but many characters of this play. How many hidden snaps are popped off, wigs switched out, mustaches glued on, and voices, postures, and mannerisms are all altered in mere seconds?<\/p>\n

When the action moves to the countryside and we shift into the comedic gothic mode, Paige Hathaway\u2019s set design, Harold F. Burgess II\u2019s lighting, Kelly Colburn\u2019s projections, Town Olufolabi\u2019s sound design, and the puppet hound designed by Dan Jones become more prominent. The set first appears as Sherlock\u2019s home \u2014 a large slate-blue paneled sitting room with curios of curiosities, but each panel pulls out to become beds, opera seats, hidden trap doors, and so on, while the bookshelves house the necessary quick props \u2014 guns, knives, dollhouses, umbrellas, and more. Together, Burgess\u2019 eerie blue-tinged lighting and Olufolabi\u2019s creaky, creepy soundtrack of Halloween noises make the large manor and accompanying moors even too haunted for the likes of a Heathcliff or Cathy. Every mention of the horse-swallowing bog Grimpen Mire is accompanied by cued suspense music (dun dun DUH!<\/em>), and Colburn\u2019s projections on three screens create the busy London train station, the facade of the haunted house, the idyllic countryside, a blood-red moon, the shadow of the hound, and a corridor of family portraits (look closely and you will see What We Do in the Shadows<\/em>\u2019 vampires amongst Renaissance paintings of dour-looking ancestors). And keeping all the lighting and sound cues, dramatic entrances and demented exits, and numerous demises on time are Cat Wallis (stage manager) and Tiffany Ko and Jalon Payton (assistant stage managers).<\/p>\n

Both the closing exposition, while necessary to explain the demented Scooby Doo mystery, and the final scene back at the opera house seem to drag on a bit, until a new crime finds our detective duo ready for their next case. Ludwig has written several Holmes adaptations, and this critic would love to see Everyman produce more of these side-splitting capers. Quick, Watson\u2026 a sequel!<\/p>\n
