Tom Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound
Tom Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound

Moon and Birdboot, two mediocre theatre critics, have gone to review yet another murder mystery, set in the parlour of "charming but isolated" Muldoon Manor. When the fog rolls in, it becomes clear that more than one person has ulterior motives for being at the show. Reality and theatricality become intertwined - then indistinguishable - as doubt falls on whether or not a play, or the perfect murder, might be in progress.

Restraints and Passage: Two Unique Performances ~ One Soulful Evening of Theatre
Location: Charlestown Working Theater
This double-bill offers a rare opportunity to see three international theatre artists in a richly imaginative evening of theater. Jola Cynkutis of Poland, Khalid Tyabji of India and Diane Edgecomb of Boston will present two one-act pieces strongly influenced by Grotowski's Teatr Laboratorium of Poland. The Laboratorium created a revolution in theatre by eschewing narrative text and scenic elements in favor of startling physical and vocal imagery rooted in the actor's psyche. Through evocative images, movement, text and songs “Restraints” and “Passages” enchant and challenge audiences while exploring universal themes.“Restraints,” conceived and performed by Diane Edgecomb, received rave reviews from the Boston Globe during its 2006 Boston premiere. “Restraints swings soundly into the next world. Edgecomb’s juxtapositions prove inspired..."It is joined by a companion one-act, “Passages” a theatrical poem of life’s journey called “intense, honest, meditative and rigorous” by Cit y Limits, Delhi Tour Blog: http://livingmyth.wordpress.com
