[LAFAYETTE GETS HOUNDED AND SOMEONE’S SNIFFING ABOUT]
Lafayette, LA- Cité des Arts announces production of Tom Stoppard's comedy “The Real Inspector Hound,” opening the first week of October.
“The
Real Inspector Hound" is a one-hour, one-act play written by Tom
Stoppard. The plot follows two theatre critics, Moon and Birdboot, as
they review a ludicrous set-up of a country house murder mystery.
Unfortunately for them, they soon become involved in the action.
“The
Real Inspector Hound,” much like Stoppard's earlier play “Rosencrantz
& Guildenstern Are Dead,” breezily examines the ideas of fate and
free will, while exploring the themes of the ‘play within a play.’ The
play has been described as “wickedly funny.” Critics remarked that as a
murder mystery “it all fits together with a sort of demented clockwork
precision.” “The whole thing is tragic and hilarious, and very, very
carefully constructed.”
The cast
features Danny Ladmirault and Rudy Eisenzopf as two ill-fated theatre
critics. Both actors have impressive resumes as professional television
actors. Lauren Greene Whyte, as Cynthia, has also produced/directed
several classical comedies at Cité. The cast is rounded out by Lafayette
theater veterans Nina McCune, Gus Fontenot, Jade Peart, Edward deMahy
and Roger Peak.
