	The Real Inspector Hound
		In The Real Inspector Hound, Stoppard ingeniously turns the country-house whodunnit on its head, breaking down the wall between stage and auditorium.
		Hound brilliantly exploits theatrical forms, feeding off the conventions of theatre itself as reality and illusion contrast and eventually merge.
		Performances of The Real Inspector Hound are July 6-28, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm, at Actors Workshop, 40 Boylston Street, Boston conveniently located on the MBTA, one half block from the Boylston Station on the Green Line and Chinatown/Essex Station on the Orange Line.

	The Real Inspector Hound
		The aptness of "Inspector Hound" for this company, which offers roles to disabled actors (in much the way Theater by the Blind does), is that because words are paramount, movement can be minimal.
		The Real Inspector Hound can be a tricky thing to review—since one of its main subjects is the faddishness, clichés, infighting, and petty jealousies of theatre reviewing.
		The doubling of realities gets even more complex toward the end of the play, as the critics get drawn into the onstage action, and the onstage characters begin to stand in for the critics—with widely diverging opinions from the professionals.

	The Real Inspector Hound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The story line follows two theatre critics that are watching a ridiculous set-up of a country house murder mystery, in the style of a "whodunit".
		The Real Inspector Hound, much like Stoppard's earlier play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, examines the ideas of fate and free will as well as exploring the themes of the "play-within-a-play".
		Inspector Hound - Appears from outside the house in the middle of the play to 'investigate' the murders in Essex.

	FLYING INKPOT THEATRE REVIEW: The Real Inspector Hound by Buds Youth Theatre
		In The Real Inspector Hound, the idea of the stage is deconstructed, and the possibility of the audience's participation in the world of the play is explored.
		Inspector Hound (Ang Yi Han) also had a voice that was not grounded.
		Inspector Hound seemed like a bunch of nerves the whole time - I have no idea why - though I am certain it was not because of actor Ang's own nerves.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: After Magritte and The Real Inspector Hound
		Unfortunately, the production fails to realize that the dialogue in itself is the attraction of these plays, not the development of characters or progress of the story.
		While After Magritte is tolerably brief, The Real Inspector Hound, performed with the same cast, ponderously follows every twist in the script.
		Like After Magritte, The Real Inspector Hound is a detective parody; the twist here is to blur the lines between audience, reviewer, cast and character.

	No mystery who's being spoofed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		"Hound" spoofs potboilers and British drawing-room comedies; also prominent is its spoof of critics and their incessant analysis of even the most-trivial aspects of theater.
		"Hound's" absurdist bent becomes apparent when Birdboot and Moon discuss figures from their personal lives — wives, actresses, rival critics —; who soon figure prominently in the action.
		Clay Eichelberger seems out of place with his characterization of Inspector Hound, who really should be a Holmes-like supersleuth who turns out to be as inept as everyone around him.

		The Real Inspector Hound is Stoppard's jab at the Agatha Christie-type murder mysteries that take place in big spooky houses where there's a murderer on the loose and every character has something to hide.
		The Real Inspector Hound has some surprises and a lot of laughs (both from the text and the physical humor supplied by the actors), but it's not as satisfying as I imagine it could be.
		In the case of Inspector Hound, in which the audience of the play served as the audience in the play, our being right inside the stage area was appropriate.

	skew * six * Centerstage * The Real Inspector Hound (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		"The Real Inspector Hound" is set in a London theatre during a performance of "Murder at Muldoon Manor".
		The incompetent Inspector Hound (reminiscent of the immortal Inspector from the Pink Panther), the mysterious, gun-wielding arm in the window, and the flirtatious vixen (actually named Felicity) all play out the standard Agatha Christy parts in a brainlessly shallow plot.
		At this presentation, the critics were seated between the real audience and the stage, a bit off to the left.

	The Real Inspector Hound/The Actor's Nightmare
		Bombeck writes: "It seems to be getting tougher and tougher to for viewers to keep fiction and reality from crashing head on...Take sitcoms for what they are--an oasis of laughter that serves as an antidote to all the reality of the six and ten o'clock news." I do not believe Ms.
		Both of these shows are set in a theatre and in both of them members of the "audience" cross the boundary from their "reality" into the "fictional" world of the theatre.
		This movement from fiction to reality (or reality to fiction) proves to be quite dangerous for a number of characters.

		Hound is a clumsy clone of Inspector Clouseau and Maxwell Smart, speaking like a wannabe Sean Connery and completely devoid of credibility as a slewth.
		He sniffs trouble, and quickly digs up the body under the couch, making the usual statement that everyone in the room is suspect and no-one is to leave the manor.
		Here is where the so called suspension of disbelief really takes over because suddenly Birdboot becomes part of the cast, becoming Gascoyne.

	After Magritte & The Real Inspector Hound
		The Real Inspector Hound - Stoppard's rather more substantial and elaborate skit on Agatha Christie country house-style murder mysteries, follows and is the more assured production.
		A double-bill of vintage Tom Stoppard, consisting of After Magritte and The Real Inspector Hound (The Square Albert to 25 November) places the company on surer ground than their previous productions of untested new plays, and for the most part it pays off.
		The 'real' actors are good too, playing the gallery of Agatha Christie-style types with a knowing, but not too knowing, twinkle, and the evening (at least the Hound portion) goes down rather agreeably with a couple of pints.

		Several of Stoppard's plays, including The Real Inspector Hound, are self-reflexive in the sense that they draw attention to the act of making drama or the act of role-playing.
		Reviewers of The Real Inspector Hound often cite the murder mysteries of Agatha Christie or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (author of the Sherlock Holmes stories) as models for Stoppard's parody.

		In 'The Real Inspector Hound', neither the lampooning of the country-house murder-mystery warhorse, nor the digs at shallow and venal theatre critics, nor the use of Ionesco's dramatic anti-logic to warp the structure and language of the play, is particularly original or ambitious.
		It is dedicated to the Czech playwright and novelist Pavel Kahout, one of the signatories of Charta 77, banned by the Czech authorities from any cultural activities, and who held clandestine, abbreviated performances of Shakespeare with fellow fllisted actors in friends' living room.
		At one point, the Inspector warns 'Words can be your friend or your enemy, depending on who's throwing the book, so watch your language', a proposition Stoppard dances with great gusto across this fabulous collection.
