The Bowdoin Orient

"The Real Inspector Hound," the Masque and Gown show that premiered last night, is "first class family entertainment," according to one of its critics. The plot revolves around a parody of British whodunit theater and self-obsessed critics. Tom Stoppard's play shows two theater critics, Moon and Birdboot, who are more concerned with their personal lives rather than the characters on stage. The critics have differing opinions and seemingly different reasons for critiquing the play. Moon wants to one-up a rival critic, while Birdboot is attempting to woo an actress.
