The Government Inspector
Bureaucratic Buffoonery. When small town officials mistake an inventive clerk for an undercover inspector sent to root out corruption, the whole village flies into a tailspin. A comic web of bribery, lies, and rampaging self-delusion entangles everyone in chaos.
Drain the Swamp? Smart, witty, and hilariously satirical, The Government Inspector is a sly confrontation of scruples in the face of “power.” Everyone is in cahoots on the crooked dealings as panic and greed befuddle the colorful cast of characters.
