Summary
Considered by many as “nearly perfect,” this is Stoppard at his wittiest. If you love a spoof on an Agatha Christie whodunit, this is the show for you! We originally produced this comic gem in the Outdoor Theater in 1994; Founding Artistic Director Bob Troie directed and designed the sets. We are excited to present it again in the Indoor Theater with Bob’s original design as inspiration.
Don’t miss Cape Cod Chronicle Night in the Barn on Thursday, June 25, 6:30 pm.
Come meet members of the creative staff for The Real Inspector Hound and the staff of Cape Cod’s local newspaper, the Cape Cod Chronicle. Have a beverage and a little nibble before the show and enjoy discussing the creative process.
