In The Real Inspector Hound, playwright
Tom Stoppard ingeniously turns the murder mystery on its
head, creating a farcical gem where the wall between stage
and audience is broken down. Moon and Birdboot, two drama
critics, each preoccupied with his professional status and
personal dissatisfaction, go to the theater to see a new
thriller. By accident, they become involved in the action of
the play, causing a series of events that parallel what they
are watching. This wonderful comic parody of whodunits is
sure to delight both audiences and critics alike!

Kaleidoscope Performing Arts Center Lenfest Theater
Tickets: $5 general admission / $2 students & senior citizens
Info and reservations: 610-409-3795
Michael,
the narrator of the memory play, Dancing at Lughnasa, which
is set in the '30s, recounts the life of his mother and her
sisters shortly before dire conditions in their semi-rural
community force them to disband. He recalls not only the
love that kept the family together long after such
conditions in their fictional, impoverished Irish household
set upon them, but he also remembers the final events that
tore them asunder. The narrative celebrates love as the
source of human bonding, even as the representation of the
material conditions make love's fragility all too apparent.
