Pretty good bite in this Hound…you’ll love it!

Their show was a hit: Ed Wilson & Bristol Whalen share a moment in the lobby after Thurssday night's show....

I got to go see The Real Inspector Hound last night at the Community Theater, and playwright Tom Stoppard’s play makes for a good summertime evening. I’m telling you about it now because there are only tow nights left in the run of the show, tonight & tomorrow.

Although the play is described as a “play within a play” I believe it is also, at times, a metaphor within a metaphor, a thought within a thought, and a theme within a theme. You have to pay close attention to get it all, but you wouldn’t want to miss it, anyway!

Director Jane Maxwell Campbell has done a super job of pulling together a diverse cast who genuinely enjoy sharing the stage with each other. She and the actors meet the challenge of pulling together a funny and witty farce with pacing that both makes the script clear, with action on stage that gives the show the energy a good murder mystery deserves.

I know you’ll enjoy this play – go see it!
