What’s the story about?
2007. An Eastern European country recently emerged from the Soviet block.Spotted at the Marriott by government aides in search of a decent cappuccino, a British businessman nonentity is mistaken for the dreaded UN Inspector. While he exploits the situation for all it’s worth, presidential panic ensues as ex-soviet Ministers make farcical attempts to cover up the corruption that lies at the state’s core.A riotous satire based on Gogol’s masterpiece, The Government Inspector, David Farr’s new play explores human greed and immorality in the highest places.
Why should I see the play?
A government that is out of touch with its people and spends all its money on the wrong things (sound familiar?) gets a visit from the dreaded UN Inspector. This is a hilarious tale of mistaken identity and corrupt politicians, performed by some of the most talented young people in the city.
