Synopsis: | One of the most famous comedies in world theatre, Gogol's masterpiece has lost none of its bite. In a small town corruption is rife, and the Mayor and his cronies have got it made. So when they learn they are going to be subject to an undercover government inspection they panic. 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. | |||||

Synopsis: | The corrupt, squabbling bureaucrats of a provincial Russian hamlet are suddenly shocked to learn that a Government Inspector is about to pay them a visitincognito. In this panic they jump to the conclusion that a young stranger recently arrived at the hotel is the Inspector, and they set out to woo him with hospitality, bribes and even the hand of the major's daughter. Actually the young visitor is a penniless clerkbut he is more than willing to accept, with no little cynicism, the largesse which is suddenly showered on him. When their error is discovered the local officials fall to squabbling again, this time over who is to blame for their costly mistake, only to be interrupted by the ominous news that the real Government Inspector has arrived and requests their immediate presence in the name of the Emperor! | |||||

| Incompetent and corrupt officials in a small provincial town are thrown into a panic when they learn that a Government Inspector is to visit, perhaps incognito. When Klestakoff, a well-dressed rogue, arrives with his streetwise servant, he quickly realises that the townsfolk imagine he is the Inspector and takes advantage of the officials' bribes and flattery. No sooner have the townsfolk discovered their mistake - just as Klestakoff leaves - than the real Inspector appears. This adaptation has an sting in the tail that gives another twist to the themes of disguise and mistaken identity. | |||||

Synopsis: | Deciding that it is time he was married, Podkoliosin, a long-time bachelor (and minor court councillor), engages a matchmaker, Fiolka, to find him a wife of suitable social statusnot to mention fortune. Fiolka comes up with Agafya, the spinster daughter of a wealthy merchant, who is seeking a husband of demonstrably higher social position. Podkoliosin deigns to visit the charming Agafya, only to discover that the bustling Fiolka has rounded up four other suitors as well, which leads to some unseemlyand hilariousbickering among the preening competitors. The suitors are all quite different (one enormously fat, one painfully skinny, one terribly tiny, another notoriously prissy), which enriches the farcical contretemps that resultand adds to the relish with which Podkoliosin's sidekick, the scheming Kochkariev, sets about winning Agafya for his friend. In the end he succeeds, but perhaps too well, as he also provides Podkoliosin with a glimpse of what marriage really entails and, as the curtain falls, the terrified would-be suitor makes his escapeleaping unceremoniously from a second story window and back to the comforting routine of blissful bachelorhood. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Nikolai Gogol | |||||
Synopsis: | Bashmachkins desperate struggle with poverty in a society defined by possessions is particularly resonant in the midst of Britains current economic climate, and with his scrupulous and scathing realism as well as philosophical depth, Gogol is still considered one of the greatest ever satirists. The company offers a faithful and culturally authentic interpretation of Nikolai Gogols absurdist satire, one of Russias most important texts, which has inspired Russian writers from Nabokov to Dostoyevsky | |||||
