In the winter of 1999, the Chapterhouse Theater Company of Britain took its first few steps towards becoming one of the few European theater companies that performs in an environmental background with stars and attractive gardens. The company has continuously been changing itself in order to adapt to new audiences every year, but its determination to produce classic works in a possibly enchanted place has not changed over the years. See here for more information about the Chapterhouse Theater Company in Britain.
As the Nottingham Post once wrote, “Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s tale of the dreaded curse of the Baskervilles received a fresh twist in the Chapter House Theater Company production. The hound’s bright red eyes, snarling teeth and the howls across the park proved the spectacle of the evening.”
