About the play:
Get ready for a hilarious evening as "The Government Inspector" takes the stage, exposing the absurdity of bureaucracy.
When the locals in a small town in Russia learn that an undercover government inspector is coming for a surprise visit, it sends the village spiraling into a world of panic and greed. The Government Inspector is often said to be Ukraine-born Nikolai Gogol’s masterpiece, a comedy of errors that provides clever commentary on the extensive political wrongdoing of Imperial Russia. When it opened, it caused an uproar in the Russian press. Eventually, Tsar Nicholas I had to intervene in order for the production to move forward. Since its premiere in the 1830s, The Government Inspector has been translated and adapted for many different productions.
This adaptation of Gogol's 'The Government Inspector' by Jeffrey Hatcher was originally commissioned and produced by Guthrie Theatre, Joe Dowling, Artistic Director.
