made a movie with Danny Kaye that bore no resemblance to the play.
Written in 1836 in Russia, by Nikolai Gogol, <b>The Inspector General or as it is sometimes called The Government
Inspector,</b> is a comedy of errors that ridicules political corruption, local
corruption, indeed corruption at all levels; this play lampoons everybody and
everything. I need actors that are ready take these characters as far as
they can. Truth is always funnier than fake news. <span> </span> <b><span style="color:red">ALL AGES,

by the Mayor, react with terror to the news that an undercover inspector will
soon be arriving in their town to investigate them. The Mayor, after years of
shaking down all the crooked city department heads himself, is freaked out. As
the public officials all try to cover up their misdeeds, a suspicious person
has arrived and is staying at the local hotel. That person, however, is not an
inspector, but a smart guy on the take. Sick and tired of the Mayor’s demand
for bribes, the department heads try to buy off the griffter with the Mayor’s
wife and daughter also trying to get in the act. </span></b><span><span></span></span></p>
