The Octagonâ€™s Artistic Director, Lotte Wakeham commented â€œWe are thrilled to be able to make available a digital version of The Hound of the Baskervilles. The show has proven incredibly popular with live audiences, but we also understand that some people may not feel comfortable or be able to return in person to the theatre. We pride ourselves at the Octagon on being inclusive, accessible and a theatre for all, so wanted to ensure that those people who are unable to visit us in person at this time still have the opportunity to catch the show. Itâ€™s a wonderfully funny, fast paced comedy that promises a great night out or in!â€
