Home / The Real Inspector Hound

The Real Inspector Hound is a short, one-act play by Tom Stoppard.

The plot follows two theatre critics named Moon and Birdboot who are watching a ludicrous setup of a country house murder mystery, in the style of a whodunit. By chance, they become involved in the action causing a series of events that parallel the play they are watching.
