About
This comedy/drama is structured as a play within a play. The frame of the play tells the story of Moon and Birdboot who are two theater critics in attendance at a performance at a London theater.
The play within takes place at Muldoon Manor, an opulent home amid marshes and swamps near a cliff. The murder mystery which serves as the play within the play features a madman loose in the area surrounding the manor. In typical murder mystery plotting, a storm is brewing and Inspector Hound and his men have difficulty reaching the area. Plenty of odd characters to entertain CCT audiences.
The Real Inspector Hound went on to win 3 awards at the Regional East Kootenay Drama Festival and competed at the BC Provincial Drama Festival the same year.
