This won't replace my favorites, but I enjoyed seeing Stoppard's early work and the evolution of his ideas. Unsurprisingly, Dogg's Hamlet and Cahoot's Macbeth were the highlights for me. (

A collection of short plays by a comedic genius. Stoppard messes with our mind by playing with our language, using words in ways they were never intended to be used, and placing characters in situations they were never intended to be in. Bizarre plot twists, plots in one play that run over into other plays and back again, plays that turn our expectations on their heads - this is absurdist theatre at its best. Some of these plays would no doubt be difficult to stage, because the non-sequitors would make it difficult for actors to learn their lines, but in the end, it would be very rewarding. (

I picked this up a little while ago in anticipation of my participation in The Real Inspector Hound in September. I was a bit disappointed with it, to tell you the truth, but the other plays in the collection were considerably better. This almost made up for it. The other plays included After Magritte, Dirty Linen, New-Found-Land, Dogg's Hamlet, and Cahoot's Macbeth. I particularly enjoyed Dirty Linen. (

PREFACE
The earliest of these plays, The Real Inspector Hound, grew out of a few pages I wrote in 1960 and came back to in 1967.

The Real Inspector Hound
The first thing is that the audience appear to be confronted by their own reflection in a huge mirror. Impossible. However, back there in the gloom—not at the footlights—a bank of plush seats and pale smudges of faces.
