Step into a world where mystery meets mischief in THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND by Tom Stoppard, presented by the Hilo Community Players. This brilliantly witty parody of classic whodunits turns the genre on its head, blending suspense, satire, and laugh-out-loud comedy into one delightfully unpredictable evening of theatre.
Directed by Sean Douglas, this fast-paced production follows two critics who find themselves swept into the very murder mystery they’re meant to review. As the line between fiction and reality blurs, secrets unravel, identities twist, and nothing is quite what it seems.
Featuring a dynamic local all-star cast— Theon Weber as Birdboot, Casey Simpson as Moon, David Greene as Simon Gascoyne, Sarah Elliott as Felicity Cunningham, Miriam Hoenig as Lady Cynthia Muldoon, Ray Ryan as Major Magnus Muldoon, Rachel Klein as Mrs. Drudge, and Mark Lewis as Inspector Hound— this production brings sharp comedic timing and theatricality to every twist and turn.
Perfect for fans of clever humor and theatrical surprises, The Real Inspector Hound is a side-splitting romp that will keep you guessing and laughing until the very end.
This incredible comedy mystery runs from April 24th - May 10th, with shows on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, and Sunday matinees starting at 2:30pm. Doors open half an hour before showtime. The beautiful new Keawe Theater is air conditioned, offering classic theater concessions with a full bar.
Tickets are available now and seating is limited! Advanced reservations are recommended. Tickets are $20 in advance at hiloplayers.org and $5 more on the day of show, with any remaining tickets available at the door.
