The Government Inspector
This hilarious adaptation, by Juliette Walton of the original play by Nikolai Gogol could be set in any town, in any country. The whole town is in a spin when it is discovered that the Government Inspector is set to visit the town incognito with instructions to assess the local government and administration. The officials are instructed to quickly cover up the many unethical practices and general corruption of the local town authorities.
Two brothers announce to the officials that they have seen the government inspector staying at the local inn, but could it be a case of mistaken identity. As the plot unfolds the hilarity increases, as the unknown visitor is feted by the officials, adds to the confusion.
"this very funny play is a splendid satire on greed, corruption and sleaze in not very high places"
