"The best part of this show is the chemistry between Thompson and Pease. Thompson perfectly embodies Sherlock...This is a talented crew! And Director Evan Jackson keeps the mystery unfolding with sophistication and clever techniques."
"This new adaptation by Althos Low, married to strong performances, strikes a satisfying balance between the personal and the political... Joel Thompson and Nathan Pease as Holmes and Watson, respectively, make not only the individual roles wholly their own, but embrace the adaptation's unique take on their relationship."
"Nathan Pease is terrific as Watson... An Amazingly clear presentation... The Hound of the Baskervilles is another stage worthy production by Idle Muse under the fine direction by Evan Jackson, Come see a fun mystery."
Newly adapted by Althos Low and directed by IMTC Artistic Director Evan Jackson.
First serialized in the Strand Magazine in 1901-1912 - and perhaps the most beloved of Conan Doyle's crime thrillers - Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson trade the foggy streets of London for the country wilds of Dartmoor to shield the life of a young heir whose family is believed cursed by a murderous hellhound.

"Established in 2006, Idle Muse is a relative newcomer to the Chicago theatre scene; however, it has since proven its mettle, receiving among its accolades, a nomination for a Jeff Award for Best Ensemble."
