๐ญ Bedford Drama Company presents An Evening of Tom Stoppard - The Place Theatre, Bedford
Time: 19:30 - 21:15
๐ 2026 DATES & TIME
โช๏ธ17th February - 21st January 2026
โช๏ธDoors open: 7:00 PM
โช๏ธShow start: 7.30PM
The Real Inspector Hound:
Moon and Birdboot, two drama critics, arrive to watch the performance of a new detective play, a parody of the conventional stage thriller. However the private lives of the critics become inextricably mixed with those of the playโs characters until Moon is shot dead and the real Inspector Hound proves to beโฆ ?
Stoppard's play is an example of absurdism as well as farce, parody, and satire. Critics have often praised it as a witty depiction of the reviewer's craft.
If Youโre Glad Iโll Be Frank:
To his astonishment Frank, a bus driver, recognises the voice of the GPO speaking clock as that of his long-lost wife. Determined to get her back, he forces his way into the inner sanctum of the Authorities to demand her release. She, meanwhile, still loving him, is almost broken by her never-ending recitation. Underlying the light-hearted story is a satiric comment on manโs servitude to the clock; and a reminder that Time itself is independent of the tick-tock of the clock.
A heap of hilarious characters and a witty script make a satiric comment on man's servitude to the clock.
