Contents: The Real Inspector Hound, After Margritte, Dirty Linen, New-Found-Land, Dogg's Hamlet, Cahoot's Macbeth. These short plays, one might say, are presented in order of their inanity and irritability.
The first two at least have an interesting twist at the end. For example, in The Real Inspector Hound there is an audience consisting of two drama critics who, as the play progresses, become the actors and vice versa. Dirty Linen, New-Found-Land are intertwined, as are the last two. Speaking of the devil, Dogg's Hamlet has dialog that is supposed to teach the audience a new language that is so far out there that no one will recognize it. And, according to those who profess to understand this tripe, Hamlet and Macbeth cannot exist without one another.
