The Inspector General: A New Adaptation of Nikolai Gogol's Comedy

By Michael M. Chemers

Most famous and funniest of the satires of Nikolai Gogol, The Inspector General receives a modern makeover in this stylish and edgy adaptation. When the corrupt city council of a mid-sized American town mistakes a penniless drifter for a federal accountability agent, it's a slap-dash scramble to the bottom. In an era when political news often includes the words "indicted," "scandal," and "Appalachian Trail," Chemers' adaptation rings uncomfortably, and hilariously, true.
