THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND Extended At Main Street Theater

Main Street Theater's current production of Tom Stoppard's brilliant comedy, The Real Inspector Hound is a runaway hit!

Review: THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND at Main Street Theater

Tom Stoppard’s THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND captures an urbane wittiness that is simultaneously droll and accessible.

It is the kind of piece that MAIN STREET THEATER handles particularly well.

BWW Review: THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR Bribes Russia at Classical Theatre Company

THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR is a fluffy piece, but has real bite when we look across at our current state of political officials. It almost hurts to laugh so hard at the Russians.
