THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR |
Don't blame the mirror - it's your face that's the problem. Russian folk saying One of the most famous comedies in world theatre, Gogol's masterpiece has lost none of its bite. In a small town at the back of nowhere corruption's rife and the Mayor and his cronies have got it made. Then they learn they're going to be subject to an undercover government inspection - and panic. Mistaking a penniless nobody for the inspector they swiftly fall victims to their own stupidity and greed.
