4. The Government Inspector is a hilarious farce of mistaken identity and mayhem
What happens when a case of mistaken identity collides with a town full of greedy officials, clueless elites, and gossiping villagers? Pure chaos—and comedy gold! Nikolai Gogol’s The Government Inspector is a razor-sharp satire that skewers corruption, exposes absurdity, and delivers belly laughs in every scene. When word gets out that an undercover inspector is on his way to a sleepy Russian town, the local bigwigs scramble to cover their tracks. But when a clueless nobody is mistaken for the feared official, the lies spiral out of control in the most outrageous ways.
Packed with colourful characters, biting wit, and laugh-out-loud twists, this riotous classic proves that bureaucracy and buffoonery are a match made in theatrical heaven.
Where? The Junction, AlSerkal Avenue
When? Friday, June 27 to Tuesday, June 29
