In “The Real Inspector Hound,” a parody of Agatha Christie-like murder mysteries, theatre critics Moon and Birdboot get swept up into the British whodunit they are supposed to be reviewing. In addition to pompous critics, Stoppard provides melodramatic plot twists and surprising intersections between reality and fiction in the acclaimed short play.
