It is witty; naughty; and makes an almost-200-year-old text truly accessible to contemporary audiences. Note that some of the humour is quite adult.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

A classic SatireBy Susan R MurrayIn Gogols time in Russia corruption was found in every arm of the government. Petty bureaucrats often pocketed money that was intended for public works. The play exposes backwater greed and corruption by showing how thoroughly ingrained bribery and lobbying are in to the culture of smalltime government officials.The plot of the play is quite ingenious. Khlestakov; a clerk of some sort; but on the whole an entirely unimportant person in the government; is in town at the tavern. Hes on the verge of getting kicked out since hes rung up a huge bill. Just when hes thinks alls lost the Lord provost shows up; pays his bill and start treating him like hes the cats pajamas. Slowly Khlestakov realizes that the towns people think hes an all important Government Inspector and are desperate to bribe wine and dine him so he gives a good report to Petersburg. This play is a critical social statement about corruption told though the humorous device of a farce. By making light of the faults of our leaders we may be able to raise awareness of the problem of corruption and effect measures that will lead to change.
