Truman Theatre’s first production of the year, “The Real Inspector Hound,” will run Sept. 26-29 in the James G. Severns Theatre in Ophelia Parrish.

A play within a play, “The Real Inspector Hound” is cheeky spoof on the works of Agatha Christie. It features theatre critics Moon and Birdboot as they watch a ludicrous set up of a whodunit murder mystery. Through a comedic whirlwind, the two feuding theater critics comment on the show and get tangled up in the chaos themselves.

Written by Tom Stoppard, “The Real Inspector Hound” premiered in London in 1968. Truman’s production is under the direction of faculty member Randall Bame.  

Performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 26-28, and 2 p.m. Sept. 29, in the James G. Severns Theatre in Ophelia Parrish.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at boxoffice.truman.edu or at the theatre prior to each performance. For more information, contact boxoffice@truman.edu.
