The Inspector General (2011)

In Nikolai Gogol's 19th-century masterpiece of dramatic satire, the system of graft, corruption and ineptitude in Tsarist Russia plays out in a backwater town. Local leaders and their cronies curry favor by giving a visiting official money, women and more. But are they greasing the right man's palm? This very funny play, directed and designed by master artists from Russia, will surprise and delight – and may even remind you of some government officials in the news today!
