We chatted with Jonathan Ellul about our upcoming production of The Hound of the Baskervilles. We asked why he wanted to be involved in this production, what he loved about his character, and what type of person will enjoy this show.
Lighthouse Festival (LF): Why did you want to be involved in this production?
Jonathan Ellul (JE): I wanted to be involved in this production because of the creative team involved, and when I heard who the other potential actors would be!
(LF): What do you love about your character?
(JE): I love that my character is the “innocent” one in the story. Watson is always trying to figure out the next piece of the puzzle, but there is also a lot of stepping in and out of character which in our version contrasts with everything about the “character I’m playing”.
(LF): What type of person is going to love this show?
(JE): I think that the type of person who would love this show is someone who loves a clever send-up of a classic, and who loves a great comedy! This show is a treat for anyone, even if they know nothing about Sherlock Holmes!
