One can do this though the suspense created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in The Hound of the Baskervilles.

The venue was a pretty large theatre. The stage had two levels with most of the instrumentalists on the bottom and vocalists behind on risers. The stage was separate from the audience but pretty close. I could see nearly everyone, which allowed me to see who was playing each part.

Suddenly, a low sound seems to ring through each of our ears, a moaning howl that I heard that I heard on the moor that afternoon with Stapleton. Sir Henry keeps questioning the sound and wondering what the locals say about that sound, but I try to change the subject, finally admitting that it is the howl of the Hound of the Baskervilles. As Sir Henry starts to sound very superstitious about the Hound, we spot Selden just as he seems to realize that he has been found. He took off and ran across the moor, and we chased after him we realized that he had too much of a head start. Standing on the moor, I gaze out into the distance on the moor and spot another tall figure of another man outlines against the moor. But then, a split second later, the man was gone. I am quite interested in who the tall figured man out on the moor was, and who might've been helping Selden. And why Stapleton acts so strange at times, but then covers it up and is all normal again. They are many suspects that I have thought up and a lot of mystery going on at this time Holmes, I wish you were here to investigate along with me. I will check in with you soon with much more information I

Analyse the use of Dr Watson as the narrator of The Hound of the Baskervilles

The space was a well-constructed thrust stage however, the stage was not raised off the ground and the seats appeared to be mobile which lead to the belief that this is an Environmental Theater. As for the layout of the stage, there was a couch and a table in center stage for the first two acts, a door to the unseen outside front of the house upstage right, there were two large double doors upstage center leading to the backyard garden, and a raised floor upstage left containing a piano, a bookcase and a door

The structure of the play was an arena stage. Which were the circular stage, and the audience surrounding the stage. I like the set up of the arena stage opposed to a proscenium or the Karl C. Bruder Theater because with an arena stage the characters are in the middle and

The way it was set up was like the stage was split in half but without walls. Which could see to be difficult since you can see everyone on the other side but the actors did well not to pay attention to that since it could be a distraction. The furniture and photos and other décor was set perfectly in the time era.The lighting and audio was great and was on cue when needed. The phone conversations which actually sounded like amplified phone conversations, the music was perfect ambient noise. The only lighting that was noticeable changes was ambient lighting from the room scenes to a couple aeriel shots of light when they wanted you to focus on that person when they started singing.

The show utilized minimalistic design for all the scenes. For the most part performers wore traditional theater black. Lighting was also kept very minimal however, a few scenes did use spotlights and simple lighting changes. The most impressive thing about the show was that even though it was a stage

Considering they both are first class citizens, Justice Wargrave is selfsame to Sir Charles Baskerville. In And Then There Were None, it always talks around how rich Justice Wargrave is since he gets a judge’s salary. In The Hound of the Baskerville, it states that Sir Charles Baskerville is a scion of “nouveaux riches” (Doyle 19). Not only that, nevertheless they both have a sort of psychotic sense. It states in The Hound of the Baskerville “you could tell that the anger had still been carried on” to a few of the character traits of the current Baskerville descendants (Doyle 60). In And Then There were none, it talks around Justice Wargrave’s madness in wanting to commit a murder; It shows how demented it made him to think that people could

I was not expecting the costumes to be as eccentric. Even though they were matching the characters’ role and personality, I felt like they were too wacky and did not go well with the play.

In the book The Hound of the Baskervilles, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are helping Sir Henry Baskerville. There will be lots of fears and they will solve the mystery of the ghastly hound that has terrorized the Baskervilles for years. Throughout Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles, the book develops the theme “don’t be ruled by fear,” by showing that the people fear the Hound of the Baskervilles and the dangers on the moor.

Arthur Conan Doyle’s legacy rests heavily on one Victorian creation: the character of Sherlock Holmes. Holmes's attitude of intelligence and originality continues to keep fans inclined and fascinated ever since the Victorian era. Holmes persists as remakes and reincarnations of the Sherlock character keep the mastermind relevant. While the modernization of Sherlock creates a personal connection between the reader and Sherlock in “A Scandal in Belgravia,” the BBC adaptation dilutes Sherlock’s character from a distinguished genius to a mere detective.

The novel The Hound of the Baskervilles is written by a British author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1859. Following “nine years in Jesuit schools, he went to Edinburgh University, where he received a degree in medicine in 1881. He then became an eye specialist in Southsea, with a distressing lack of success” (Doyle 1). Doyle’s financial letdown in Southsea created a need for an alternative way for him to generate profit, so he became an author. In the first of his many stories A Study in Scarlet, Doyle brings Sherlock Holmes to life; he is a detective and the protagonist of the story. Doyle’s inspiration and idea for an observant detective came from Dr. Joseph Bell of the Edinburgh Infirmary. Dr. Bell

The book The Hound Of The Baskerville was written in 1901. The novel was published in serial form from 1901 to 1902. It has proved to be a great success even today and is considered by some Sherlock Holmes scholars to be Doyle’s best work. It has inspired more than twenty film and television reinterpretations, made in diverse places such as Germany, Australia, Canada, the United States, and also the United Kingdom. The most recent such reinvention of this story can be seen in the BBC series Sherlock, although this is in fact very much different from the original novel.
