簡介

First performed in 1968, The Real Inspector Hound is a comic parody of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap (which received its first public performance in Hong Kong as recently as 2012). But The Real Inspector Hound is no simple comedy: by blurring the distinctions between fiction and reality, it will leave audiences surprised, enlightened and wondering if they are themselves part of the play.

Co-Directors Julian Lamb and Rosalind Wong said, “The Real Inspector Hound is an outrageous twist on the classic murder mystery in which the perpetrators and victims are members of the audience! In this fresh interpretation, we have re-contextualised the play within 1970s Hong Kong, and we hope the inclusion of sultry tai tais, Chinglish, and aggressive mahjong games will have audiences laugh knowingly. We hope, above all, that whoever comes to see the play will be absorbed and delighted by its witty plot twists, and ultimately be left wondering, ‘Whodunnit?’”
