The
Philadelphia Theatre Company is presenting the McCarter Theatre/Arena Stage
production of Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes’s Mystery
through December 27. The production can be seen at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre,
Broad and Lombard Streets. The ensemble cast of Henry Clark, Crystal Finn, Adam
Green, Ron Menzel and Matt Zambrano constantly skirt on and off the stage as
different persona. Their costume changes
are lightning quick and nothing short of remarkable. The special effects are
spell-binding. Lighting Designers Philip S. Rosenberg and Joel Shier have outdone
themselves, using over 100 strobe lights to create the mood of the mysterious moor.
Sound Designer Joshua Horvath has the audience members shrinking in their seats
in fear of the hounds and set designer Daniel Ostling has made excellent use of
the openings on the stage floor which allow people and props to appear and
disappear almost magically. The plot in first act is a bit confusing, but enjoy
the speed with which everything is done and be assured that everything will be
tied up neatly in the second act. For more information or tickets, call
215-985-0429 or visit online at PhiladelphiaTheatreCompany.org.
