A review by annyway47
The Inspector General by John Laurence Seymour, George Rapall Noyes, Nikolai Gogol

4.0

This play is satire at its best. Corruption, greed, vanity, opportunism, and snobbism are comically displayed. And before the spectator has a chance to get on a high horse, Gogol reminds us that these characters are taken from real life and each of us has some of the same vices. The writing is brilliant, astute, and a pleasure to read. I haven't seen this play performed.
