RATW's The Government Inspector

Inspired by Gogol, devised by Redbridge Adult Theatre Workshop.When a corrupt provincial town mistakes a penniless, smooth-talking clerk for a high-ranking government inspector, panic ensues.

To save their own skins, local officials shower the imposter with bribes, wine, and flattery.

Nikolai Gogol’s legendary satirical, farcical masterpiece is a wildly funny, razor-sharp takedown of political greed, systemic hypocrisy, and collective delusion.

Our current climate is dominated by media spin and institutional mistrust - The Government Inspector has the capability to hold a mirror to our modern world, almost 200 years on - loosing none of its original bite.VENUE: Redbridge Drama Centre, Churchfields, South Woodford, E18 2RB
