BHS Presents: The Government Inspector

This wildly-funny play has been called “a first-rate farce.” When the locals in a small Russian hamlet learn that an undercover government inspector is coming for a surprise visit, an unfortunate case of mistaken identity sends the whole village spiraling into a world of panic and greed. Witty, smart and wildly satirical, this timely and spirited adaptation of Nikolai Gogol’s classic play exposes the corruption of a provincial town with biting hilarity. Originally written in 1836 and considered a masterpiece of theatre, this version was brilliantly adapted by Jeffry Hatcher in 2008. The students in BHS Drama put their own spin on this one: Put a mustache on everybody!
