Event information
by Nikolai Gogol
adapted by David Harrower
The news that a government inspector is on his way throws a small Russian town into chaos, as its corrupt officials scramble to cover their tracks. A simple case of mistaken identity spirals into farce, exposing vanity, hypocrisy and greed in this razor-sharp satire from the grandfather of Ukrainian drama.
David Harrower’s acclaimed version of The Government Inspector premiered at Warwick Arts Centre before transferring to the Young Vic, London.
“Gloriously grotesque and brilliantly funny.” - The Independent
