SUDS Presents: DOUBLE O’BILL - The Real Inspector Hound and The Bald Soprano

Written by Tom Stoppard and Eugene Ionesco

17th - 27th May, 2023

The Cellar Theatre

Directed by Charlie Papps and Kieran Casey

Produced by Jadzia Stronell

Assistant produced by Emily Skipper

A good critic is a dead critic. The two critics Moon and Birdboot aren’t dead and so share their thoughts with the audience as an increasingly absurd murder mystery unfolds in the sitting room of Muldoon Manor. Will they be able to figure out who indeed is the Real Inspector Hound? Will you? Following this short play, we move to The Bald Soprano, another short play, where baldness isn’t particularly relevant. The Smiths are English, perhaps too English. They are visited by the Martins who are also English, and they together drink English water and tell English stories. The Frenchman who wrote this play mocks them, and if you’re lucky, he’ll mock you too. At this point you might ask “What do these plays have to do with a popular cowboy ice-cream with bubblegum for a nose?” Nothing.
