"It's not good, gentlemen, that's why I've gathered you all here. An inspector is coming... A government inspector!"
Adapted by David Harrower
Written by Nikolai Gogol
Directed by John Young
Designed by Charlotte Murphy
The news that a government inspector is due to arrive in a small Russian town sends its bureaucrats into a panicked frenzy. When a scheming stranger rolls into town, a simple case of mistaken identity exposes the hypocrisy and corruption at the heart of the community in Gogol’s biting satire.
Originally published in 1836, this caricature of politics and moral bankruptcy still rings true for today’s audiences – proving that some subjects will always be ripe for an inspection…  Suitable for ages 14+
Students developing and growing in confidence during their time here, seeing their work reaching professional standards in approach and execution; a student who intends to be a stage manager producing a wonderful sound design; a first year student making a lovely recording of a song for their recording project; tracking the careers of former students and seeing them be successful; being able to find a job opportunity for a recent graduate.
Frank Bradley, Sound Tutor
