The Government Inspector

by Nikolai Gogol

Overview

In this ever-topical satire of small-town corruption and cravenness, bumbling and inefficient town officials are thrown into a panic when they learn that a Government Inspector is coming, perhaps incognito. When a well-dressed rogue arrives, he quickly realizes he is presumed to be the Inspector and takes advantage of the officials' dinners, bribes, etc. When the officials realize their mistake-just after the rogue leaves-the real Inspector arrives.

Editorial Reviews

Two-and-a-half hours of sheer theatrical delight that is, if anything, even more relevant today - in this age of relentless municipal self-promotion and image-building - than it was when Gogol wrote it, more than 170 years ago.” —The Scotsman
