Press
“To say that Paterson directs with verve would be an understatement…romps up and down Stoppard’s Escher-like staircase with wild abandon…smart fun, admirable post holiday entertainment…”
Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight
“Hound will make you howl…totaly silly, completely without redeeming socal relevance, and in the words of Birdboot “a rattling good evening out. I was held!”
Jo Ledingham, The Courier
“…deliciously presented… sound and light designers also enter into the success of this hugely funny presentation with their ingenious use of their specialized technology…go and see The Real Inspector Hound and laugh yourself to aching point. It’s worth it.”

About
The Real Inspector Hound played to sold out houseand a Box Office line up arround the theatre. Taking as much inspiration from Looney toons as Tom Stoppard’s play, the production highlighted the absurdities of making theatre through exposing the meta and backstage. The set, lighting and costume design exagerated these with comic and sureal doors going no where, overly forced perspective, etc.
