Aquila Theatre brings THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES to the Robinson Grand in Clarksburg for the company's first appearance at the venue. Sherlock Holmes and Watson return to the fog-shrouded moors to solve their most famous case all over again, joined by Mrs. Hudson and the self-acclaimed Sir Grover Drake-Billets in a play within a play that stays genuinely suspenseful even as it finds real comedy inside the mystery. Aquila has carried its reimagined classics to two White Houses, the U.S. Supreme Court, and Congress, and now brings that same craft to a Sherlock Holmes case built to keep Clarksburg guessing. Presented by The Cultural Foundation of Harrison County.
