A parody of the Agatha Christie-style parlor mystery, “The Real Inspector Hound” explores the thin line between the audience and the stage, as Stoppard fractures reality and life imitates art.

Cartier as Moon; Bill Van Horn as Birdboot; Janis Stevens as Mrs. Drudge; Jordan Coughtry as Simon Gascoyne; Anna Doyle as Felicity Cunningham; Nisi Sturgis as Cynthia Muldoon; Michael Dix Thomas as Major Magnus Muldoon; Andy Blaustein as Inspector Hound, and Alan Estes as Dead Body.
