WALPOLE — The Walpole Players company inaugurates its fourth decade with an early May production of Tom Stoppard’s madcap, murder-mystery/farce-parody, “The Real Inspector Hound.”
The production boasts a nimble and lively cast of actors, and will be performed each evening at 7:30 p.m. at the Walpole Town Hall’s Helen Miller Theater on Friday and Saturday, May 4 and 5; and Friday and Saturday, May 11 and 12.
The play, set in isolated Muldoon Manor, in a swamp on the coast of Essex, involves: several corpses, uncounted mistaken identities, jealousy, revenge, swinish behavior, overheard confidences, settled scores, returns from the dead, torches carried, resentments aired, true love and the other kind; critics thinking (both out loud and to themselves) and general mayhem.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for those under 12 years old, and may be purchased at Galloway Real Estate and Joanie Joan’s Baked Goods in Walpole, and at Village Square Booksellers in Bellows Falls. The production, is presented under special arrangement with Samuel French Inc. Anyone seeking additional information can call (603) 756-4207.
