    JULY 2015 KEN LUDWIG’S BASKERVILLE A SHERLOCK HOLMES MYSTERY WELCOME Welcome to The Old Globe, and hold on to your seats! An unparalleled team of actors and artists is about to unleash all the terror and tomfoolery of Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery. Over the past few years, our summer shows in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre have proven immensely popular, and audiences have turned out in record numbers looking for a truly fun night in the theatre. The Globe has been delighted to oblige, offering productions likeQuartet and Double Indemnity—shows that have gone on to become overwhelming audience DOUGLAS GATES favorites. Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. This year, the Globe celebrates the dog days of summer with a madcap adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic novel The Hound of the Baskervilles, penned by one of America’s great comic playwrights. This production pairs an established writer—Ken Ludwig, at long last making his Globe debut— with an up-and-coming director: Josh Rhodes. Josh’s name may be familiar to Globe audiences; he choreographed last season’s world premiere production of Bright Star, the Steve Martin and Edie Brickell musical that’s poised to make its entrance on Broadway. We’re thrilled to welcome Josh back to the Globe, this time in the director’s chair. Baskerville continues our festive Summer Season celebrating the Globe’s 80th Anniversary and the Centennial of the Panama-California Exposition. We are glad to share the fun with you.

You know Director’s Notes are usually intended to be somehow 2014-2015 Season socially relevant, whetting the appetite for provocation, insight and thoughtful entertainment. That’s a pretty high order for “Moon Over Buffalo”. Now that’s not to say that good comedy can’t be provoca- tive. There are at least as many types of comedy as there are Shades of Grey. Consider the socially relevant comedy of April 17-May 3 “MASH”, or the stigma-busting, in your face comedy of “All in the Family” and all its spin-offs. But this is …vaudeville. This is slapstick. This production has been brazenly plagiarized from all my personal favorites; Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello, The Three Stooges and The Marx Brothers. The beauty of comedies like “Moon Over Buffalo” is they’re built June 5-21 upon the human weakness we all know and celebrate in our own lives.
