Gogol’s deeply silly satire of small-town corruption offers a riotous portrait of rampaging self-delusion.
When the crooked leadership of a provincial village discovers that an undercover inspector (Michael Urie) is coming to root out their commonplace corruption, the town weaves a web of bribery, lies, and utter madness. This New York premiere of acclaimed playwright Jeffrey Hatcher’s (Stage Beauty) adaptation offers a hilarious reminder of the terrifying timelessness of bureaucracy and buffoonery.
