The
Real Inspector Hound
by Tom Stoppard
|
Birdboot and Moon, two critics of unequal esteem, have come to watch and review the latest 'who-dun-it'.
With one suffering from an inferiority complex and the other more concerned with the up-and-coming young actresses,
the play is not the main focus of their attention.
Featuring Tom Stoppard's trademark 'play within a play', The Real Inspector Hound ironically mocks the competitive world of theatre and the classic murder mystery genre. As the plot thickens, our critics find themselves more deeply involved in the action on stage than they had expected.

Still
Life
by Noël Coward
|
Set in the refreshment room of Milford Junction
railway station we see a chance encounter between Alec and Laura, as he removes a piece of grit from her
eye, develop against the backdrop of interwar Britain. Both separately married, we see a growing love
struggle against the middle-class restraint of the duty-bound Alec and Laura.
A colourful array of supporting characters each try their own hand at romance, with varying results!
This short play was developed into the Classic film Brief Encounter directed by David Lean starring
Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard.
