It’s elementary for Perse Prep actors in Sherlock Holmes show

Year 6 were hot on the trail of The Hound of the Baskervilles in their excellent production at The Perse Prep.

Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic tale sees supersleuth Sherlock Holmes and trusty sidekick Dr Watson try to solve the mystery behind the legend of a phantom hound after Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead in the Devon moors with giant canine footprints nearby.

Adapted for a younger audience, and with original lyrics and music from Prep Director of Enrichment Jules Reston and Head of Music Paul Harris, three separate casts put on a fantastic show to crowds of family and friends over consecutive nights.
