Original Theatre Company have announced that its production of The Hound of the Baskervilles will be available to stream virtually on Original Theatre Online from 14 April.
Adapted to the stage by Steven Canny and John Nicholson for Peepolykus, the production was first performed at the Octagon Theatre in summer 2021.
Original Theatre have produced 13 digital productions since March 2020, which have been streamed globally to 57 different countries. The Hound of the Baskervilles joins the theatre’s spring line-up, which also includes The Red, Into The Night, The System and Being Mr Wickham.
Alastair Whatley, artistic director of Original Theatre, said: ‘Necessity forced our hand in 2020 as we took our first steps into making work online. As much as the past two years have been profoundly challenging for all of us in the industry, they have also opened doors to explore a new way of working which in turn has led us to develop a new and exciting hybrid form of theatre.
‘It’s been a period of huge change but also great innovation which is opening up access to theatre like we’ve never been able to do previously.’
