THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR
WADS has chosen this play party as a symbolic gesture of solidarity with Ukraine - Gogol was born there, in the village of Sorochyntsi - and partly because it’s a very funny play; a farce about corruption in a small town.
Winston Churchill said, just before WWII began, that “The arts are essential to any complete life. The State owes it to itself to sustain and encourage them”. He is also alleged to have said, in response to a suggestion to cut arts funding to support the war effort, “Then what would be fighting for?” In fact, he didn’t say that, but then he also didn’t wear a suit to the White House when he was a war leader.
The version of the play that WADS is putting on has had some great reviews - “Goulding's adaptation is vigorous and pointed. The laughs keep coming,” “The funniest English version of The Government Inspector that I know” and “Enormously funny. Fantastic. A really great night out”.
Tickets cost £12 (£8 concessions).
