Boston Court Performing Arts Center-Mainstage (Pasadena, CA)
This world-premiere adaptation of Nikolai Gogol’s The Inspector General, by Oded Gross, is a classic satire on human vanity and the corruption of elected officials — and is more relevant today than ever. The corrupt, self-seeking officials of a small town in tzarist Russia mistake a penniless clerk for a government inspector, and chaos, recrimination and retribution ensue. Will the villagers realize that they’re lavishing all this bribery on the wrong man? Re-envisioned as a cutting, tragic farce with influences from Monty Python, this painful, hilarious investigation of the abandonment of character makes for a show filled with laughs and a good dose of soul. Stefan Novinski directs.
