Praise for The Real Inspector Hound and Other Plays:

"The Real Inspector Hound is a comedy of satire of high and delightful quality, and great fun . . . The action is fast, continuous, and extremely funny."–New York Post

"[After Magritte is] a surrealist comedy in detective form . . . The play shows that Stoppard is as amusing and clever as always."–CBS

"When it comes to Dirty Linen, there are no national boundaries. It is a tidal basin of laughter."–New York Times

"New-Found-Land takes over, as architecturally sound as the introduction of a Beethoven scherzo."–Daily News

"The incorrigibly playful Stoppard has never been more serious than in this most playful of his works [Dogg's Hamlet and Cahoot's Macbeth]. Like George Orwell, Stoppard knows that language and liberty are intertwined: when language is perverted, corrupted, or forcibly repressed, so is liberty."–Newsweek
