THE classic Sherlock Holmes thriller The Hound of the Baskervilles is the Malvern Theatre Players' next production and open auditions are being held next week.
The auditions are being held on Tuesday and Thursday at 7.30pm in the Forum Theatre at Malvern Theatres.
The well-known story, set at Baskerville Hall on the edge of Dartmoor, requires a large cast in the age range 20-60, with many of the cast playing more than one part.
Legend has it the Baskervilles are cursed and that a gigantic ferocious hound stalks the moor seeking to destroy every last member of the unfortunate family.
After the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, his young heir Sir Henry turns to Sherlock Holmes and his friend Dr Watson for help. Soon they are involved in a race against time, unravelling the mysteries of the moor to save Sir Henry from the fate of his ancesters.
The MTP production is a fast-paced modern adaptation by Simon Williams with lots of action. It is being directed by Marie-Louise Doherty and designed by Chris Bassett.
