by Mary Moody Northen Theatre
Feb. 11 - Feb. 21, 2016
Thursdays-Sundays
Mary Moody Northen Theatre, the award-winning producing arm of the St. Edward’s University theatre training program, continues its 43rd annual season with Jeffrey Hatcher’s adaptation of Nikolai Gogol’s 1836 satire The Government Inspector.
When officials in a small Russian hamlet learn an undercover government inspector is coming for a surprise visit, they panic. In a rush to discover the intruder they target the wrong man, and a case of mistaken identity sends the whole village spiraling.This wild and smart adaptation of Nikolai Gogol's 1836 play shines a light on corruption and takes everyone to task.
“One part farce, one part slapstick,…this naughty, frothy play is wholly entertaining… " Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
“This is one funny show.” Vancouver Plays
The Government Inspector adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher from the original by Nikolai Gogol
Directed by Michelle Polgar
