Northern Broadsides brings its new version of Gogol’s classic satire The Government Inspector to Liverpool Playhouse this coming month.
Gogol’s classic comedy of errors about corruption in a small town has been brought roaring into 21st Century England, and is on at the Playhouse from November 13-17.
In typical Broadsides style, the play features a troupe of actor-musicians to incorporate music as an integral part of the show.
This new adaptation relocates to a small Pennine town, starting when a mysterious stranger is mistaken for a government inspector. Fearing discovery of their corrupt goings-on, the town’s unscrupulous councillors attempt to ingratiate themselves.
