The Real Inspector Hound by Tom Stoppard
Radford Theatre Company presents
The Real Inspector Hound by Tom Stoppard

27 Oct 2021 to 30 Oct 2021

This short, one act play by Tom Stoppard follows two theatre critics, Moon and Birdboot, as they watch an absurd country house murder mystery play in the style of a 'whodunit'. But as the night progresses something seems off as the lives and actions of the critics become entangled with that of the play.

Despite the current ACT COVID-19 restrictions we are thrilled to say that we are still bringing this hilarious Stoppard classic to online audiences around the ACT!

Birdboot
When Oliver was six-years old, his mother signed him up for drama classes, and thenceforth his life was irreversibly altered. Since that fateful first encounter with acting, Oliver has been involved in over fifteen drama productions around Canberra. Avid theatregoers may recognise him as Gomez from Radford’s production of The Addams Family earlier this year. The Real Inspector Hound has been quite the change of pace compared to Addams, but no less enjoyable (although, Oliver does miss being able to flail a sword around like a crazed Spanish matador). He has loved performing as Birdboot in this play, not least because he’s singlehandedly eaten an entire box of chocolates in the course of production. Acting alongside such a talented cast of performers has been an excellent experience, and Oliver can’t imagine a better show to have been his final one at Radford. He sincerely hopes that you enjoy the show as much as the cast have enjoyed rehearsing it, and that you have a rattling good evening out! more ...
