TEATRUL DE COMEDIE INSPECTOR GENERAL

‘Inspector General’ by Gogol, one of the great literary works of the world, is a timeless story about authority and its illusions, about the nature of corruption and the rigid face of bureaucracy.

Summary: In an undetermined geographical and intellectual state, a traveller who arrives at the capital escorted by his servant is mistaken for the Inspector General who is expected to arrive at any moment. A whole mechanism of corruption is set into motion due to the presence of the fake official. The gradual revelation of the truth changes the situation dramatically and the protagonists’ true characteristics are revealed in a disarming way. Teatrul de Comedie approaches this literary masterpiece with a caustic sense of humour and through extreme comical situations.
