Director Paul Baker has gathered his A team together for Tom Stoppard’s The Real Inspector Hound with some of the finest acting talent RoughCast Theatre Company has to offer. The play is a typical Stoppard, full of twists and meta commentary, all packed into an economical run time of just over an hour. Nothing much happens, or indeed is explained, which is more than can be said for The Real Inspector Hound. What they are reviewing is a play within a play that they, and we, are watching. To say more would be to spoil much of the fun, though I will say Mark Burridge is remarkably adept when it comes to driving a wheelchair, with or without a moustache.
