🎭💼 It's show week! The Government Inspector by Nikolai Gogol - adapted by David Harrower and directed by Tim Faulkner 💼🎭

Our graduate season of plays begins with ‘The Government Inspector’ at the Riverside Studios, opening on Thursday 11th June. Featuring a cast of our graduating students, this razor-sharp satire of human greed and political corruption will invite audiences to a small Russian town frantically covering up their misdeeds before the imminent arrival of an incognito inspector. What follows is a comedy of errors that reminds us of the power of classical drama to expose contemporary truths.
