November 24 – January 28

This Christmas Roddy returns to the Abbey Theatre with his version of Nikolai Gogol’s satirical comedy, The Government Inspector – see www.abbeytheatre.ie for more information.

‘Ah now. Let’s just say, when a big gun goes off, we’d all want to be ducking the bullet.’

The Mayor, the Judge, the Chief of Police and a host of the crooked characters are in an awful tailspin as a visit from a government inspector looms large on their provincial Russian town. It’s all brown envelopes and bribes as this befuddled group frantically try to keep the show on the road at all costs. But could a case of mistaken identity sabotage their efforts?

Jimmy Fay directs a colourful cast in a new version of this magnificent Gogol satire.
