The Government Inspector

«The Government Inspector» and «Marriage» - two remarkable satirical comedies by Gogol, two masterpieces of classical Russian comedy that have not left the best stages of our country for almost a century and a half and have been adapted to film numerous times.

What makes these works relevant? Is it not the archetypes, so brilliantly depicted by Gogol - corrupt lazy officials, provincial nouveaux riches and their absurdly pretentious daughters aspiring to metropolitan chic, cowardly suitors who are in no hurry to part with their bachelor lives, and clever pushy matchmakers - who we still often encounter today?

The collection also includes «The Gamblers», «The Morning of a Businessman», «The Lawsuit» and other plays.
