Reviews
"If you don’t know „The Hound of the Baskervilles“, don’t worry! You will get a short and funny summary, as the two actors, Caroline Richards and George Humphreys – both have English as their mother tongue and live in Salzburg – show their talent and their ability to switch quickly, concisely and hilariously between different roles, often grabbing props from a suitcase placed in front of them – a finger puppet, a very aggressive and dangerous toy dog or Sherlock Holmes’ favourite instrument, the violin. Especially Caroline Richards switches wonderfully from the detective’s distinguished language to the rough idiom – or what Austrians might call „g’schert“ – of an ordinary Englishwoman."
"Die beiden Darsteller Caroline Richards und George Humphreys – letzterer auch als Bariton Don Giovanni im Landestheater zu hören – schlüpften mit Tempo und großer Wandlungsfreude in mehrere, auch historische Rollen. Angekündigt als immersives Theater verzichtete die Produktion aber auf KI und VR – stattdessen wurde das Publikum selbst realer Teil der Inszenierung und hatte zeitweise das Gefühl, in einem Escape-Room zu sein."
