*“There’s no money in honesty!"*



A comedy about hypocrites, hysterics and hustlers.



An over-privileged, vainglorious liar is mistaken for a high-ranking government inspector by the corrupt local officials of a parochial town. Desperate to cover up their crimes and escape censure, the town’s Governor and his cronies pull out all the stops to try and bribe this dishonest buffoon with money, wine and women.



__*The Government Inspector*__ is Nikolai Gogol’s masterful comedy about how corrupt power destroys itself, exposing the tragi-comic consequences of collective delusion and the swindlers who would exploit it.

Review: THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR, Marylebone Theatre
by Mica Blackwell - May 9, 2024


Nikolai Gogol's 1836 satire The Government Inspector caused a stir for calling out the Russian government's corruption. It's easy to see why Peter Myers wanted to bring its relevant story to the stage two centuries later, but the biting commentary under the silliness is lost in translation in this chaotic production in spite of the talent onstage.
