Angleterre Productions presents
The Real Inspector Hound
by Tom Stoppard

This one-act play, actually a play within a play, involves two theatre critics reviewing a play who get caught up in a murder-mystery with the on-stage actors. A dead body is found at Muldoon Manor in Essex, the radio announces a madman is on the loose, and soon Inspector Hound shows up at the scene of the crime. But is he the real Inspector Hound?

This is the second stage show from Angleterre productions following ‘Scratchings’ in April 2008.

Act V presents
Macbeth
by William Shakespeare

Four actors from classical theatre company Act V, return to the Alma Tavern to perform Shakespeare’s tragedy of the imagination.

Using only Shakespeare’s language and without set or costume changes, this visionary drama unfolds as the three witches transform themselves into the play’s characters and propel Macbeth towards his inexorable fate.

First performed by Act V at the Alma in 2005, the production was acclaimed by Venue Magazine in it’s yearly review of 2006 as “the best Shakespeare of 2005” and by The Bath Chronicle as “a remarkable” and “maybe the best” production at the Bath Shakespeare Festival in 2006.
