The Real Inspector Hound
by Tom Stoppard
This hilarious spoof of 1930’s and 40’s British mystery movies has it all: a spooky old mansion, a storm-wracked heath, a gathering of strangers, mistaken identities and, of course, murders! Wrap it all in natty British accents and you’ll have a delightful outing at the theatre trying to discern the real Inspector Hound!
