The “Real Inspector Hound” written by Tom Stoppard and directed by CCT newcomer, Kyle Stooshnov, follows the story of two theatre critics as they attend a murder mystery play in London. As the play unfolds, the critics
Birdboot and Moon, get entangled within the play they are reviewing. The characters portray exaggerated stereotypes, engage in absurd situations, and are baffled by mistaken identities.

The second offering of the evening is “The Man in the Bowler Hat” written by A.A. Milne (of Winnie the Pooh fame), and directed by veteran CCT director, Bob McCue. This play tells the tale of a terribly exciting event that upends the otherwise humdrum life of John and Mary turning their day into a whirlwind of intrigue, melodramatic action and humorous situations.

Both one-acts feature a play-within-a-play structure with characters who become involved in the action and blur the lines between reality and fiction.
