The Government Inspector by Nikolai Gogol
translated by Alistair Beaton, directed by Jef Pirie
November 21,22,23 and 26,27,28 at 7:30pm
Journey to a small town at the back of nowhere in Russia, where corruption is rife and the Mayor and his cronies have got it made.
But they are about to learn that they're going to be subject to an undercover government inspection - time to PANIC!!!
Nabokov called The Government Inspector the greatest play in the Russian language. In this new translation, D J Campbell brings to life its blend of preposterous characters and all-too real situations.
