'The Real Inspector Hound' is an early farce by Tom Stoppard now showing at Main Street Theater. msthouston TomStoppard37
The Real Inspector Houndis not about theater critics, it's difficult to believe him. He's pulling our leg. He's a master at that.
The critics Moon and Birdboot – very much existential versions of Waldorf and Statler from the Muppet Show – somewhat distracted and writing their reviews as the play progresses, soliloquize on their life while taking notes. They talk among themselves as the murder mystery at the secluded manor house goes on.
Stoppard's a pro at linking events into neat packages. He mocks the conventions of a murder mystery with its too explicit expositions and coincidences – when Mrs. Drudge picks up the telephone, she answers with, “Hello, the drawing-room of Lady Muldoon's country residence one morning in early spring.” She speaks in nothing but exposition, and Britton has clueless down pat. Then as the play-within-the-play reaches its first climax, he places his two protagonists squarely into the plot.
