Nothing is sacred—and everything is hilarious in this razor-sharp double bill from Tom Stoppard.

In The Real Inspector Hound, two critics find themselves tangled in the very play they’re reviewing, as Stoppard gleefully dismantles the conventions of the classic country-house murder mystery.

Then, Fifteen Minute Hamlet takes Shakespeare’s tragic masterpiece and distills it to its absurd, side-splitting essence.

It’s as if William Shakespeare and Agatha Christie had a love child—and Monty Python was the babysitter.
