The Government Inspector review
Five-star cast grapples with third-rate script.
Will Noble, Londonist, 10th May 2024The Government Inspector review
Kiell Smith-Bynoe and Martha Howe-Douglas ably embody Gogol's schemers, but this show doesn't hit any 21st-century targets.
The Guardian, 9th May 2024The Government Inspector review
The comedy simply cannot breathe.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 9th May 2024The Government Inspector review
Now almost 200 years old, Gogol's delicious satire springs from the corrupt politics of 1830s Russia.
David Winskill, Ham & High, 9th May 2024The Government Inspector review
The action is too maniacally incredible to buy into.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 9th May 2024The Government Inspector review
Sadly, this old-fashioned farce feels as relevant today as it was when first penned, as we observe overt corruption, bribery and influence at play by those who brandish the power, with little or no regard for those whom it impacts most.
Cara Brazier, West End Best Friend, 9th May 2024The Government Inspector review
These energetic comic performances hold together this shallow take on Gogol's absurd satire.
Dave Fargnoli, The Stage, 9th May 2024The Government Inspector review
Gogol purists may come away mulling over questions of power, delusion, or some other impressive profundity. But everyone will leave with a face aching from grinning.
Lucinda Everett, What's On Stage, 9th May 2024The Government Inspector review
The issues with this production go beyond the script.
