One of the most famous comedies in world theatre, Gogol's masterpiece has lost none of its bite

Mistaking a penniless nobody for the inspector they swiftly fall victims to their own stupidity and greed
A dazzling blend of preposterous characters and familiar situations, Nabokov called The Government Inspector the greatest play in the Russian language
