The Real Inspector Hound, a one-act play by Czech-born British playwright Tom Stoppard (born 1937). The plot follows two theatre critics named Moon and Birdboot who are watching a ludicrous setup of a country house murder mystery, in the style of a whodunit. By chance, they become involved in the action causing a series of events that parallel the play they are watching. The play was written between 1961 and 1962, drawing on Stoppard's experiences as Bristol theatre critic. Stoppard's play is an example of absurdism as well as farce, parody, and satire.

Published by Faber and Faber, 1968.

Lighting by John Botha; costumes and make-up by Debbie March; Sound by Shelagh Smith. Company manager Fiona Knox; stage manager Julie Robertson. Cast: Simon Heginbotham, George Fatseas, Andrew Wilson, Mark Osborn, Guy de Lancey, Julie Coghlan, Carol Black, Barbara Lipowska.
