Assess Regarding Books The Real Inspector Hound and Other Plays

A satirical treatment of "The Mousetrap" written as a script. Very amusing.Seeing "The Mousetrap" before reading this helped in understanding the references.

Two theater critics are drawn into a play about a murder mystery and end up deeply embroiled in the action.I am a Stoppard fan, yet found this play much less crisp and enjoyable as some of his others. The absurd portion of the play (ie critics being drawn into the action) was not super clear and therefore just absurd. At one point I was just scratching my head. Can't recommend (sadly).

Tom Stop-Hard's play on words is catching. Plays 1: The Real Inspector House was great. Good fun. An hilarious whodunnit. The companion play After Magritte was good fun as well. I enjoyed Dirty Linen / New-Found-Land, which are a good send up of Parliamentary sub-committees. All these so far read well on the page, and I imagine actors would have a great time in these plays.The next two, Dogg's Hamlet and Cahoot's Macbeth are a companion piece. Dogg's Hamlet has to play first. I read half of this

Simply the funniest play I ever read. It would, however, be a bitch for a community theater company to stage with its period set including a wheel chair coming downstairs, a body periodically hidden by a couch and its bleachers for the watchers Moon and Birdboot for the play-wrapped-around-a-play. But it reads well and my copy is not the one listed here but one I have in a textbook.

Post modernism encapsulated! Not my favourite genre at all, but these plays were so strange and off-beat that they intrigued me enough to continue reading them all. Tom Stoppard comes across as very intelligent in his way of creating scenes, the plays are clever and funny and leave you asking a lot of questions at the end...

I am honestly not entirely sure what I thought of this? (NB: I only read The Real Inspector Hound, not any of the other plays.)On the one hand, it was a fun little one act play that took me around twenty minutes to read, and it made me laugh, and it made me go, what the hell? On the other hand, I'm 100% positive I missed things, and the cleverness of this play almost entirely went over my head. I actually read this for Cannonball Read's quarterly online book club, and here's all I could think of

Having seen this performed and read it before and after.. Is just so much fun...it is brilliant, irreverent, impossible, and reminds me now if the new BBC series "Sherlock". I could see it, watch it, and read it again and again and howl with laughter.... Just thinking of crossing the moors in those,contraptions ....! I can't give it away... You must read it to find out for yourself.
