"I had this dream last night. There were these rats... Sniffing, sniffing, sniffing."
Spotted at the Marriott by government aides in search of a decent cappuccino, a British businessman nonentity is mistaken for the dreaded UN inspector. While he exploits the situation for all it's worth, presidential panic ensues as ex-Soviet Ministers make farcical attempts to cover up the corruption that lies at the State's core.
"He's UN all over. On the surface completely ineffective. But watch out! One slip and he'll tear you apart."
A riotous satire based on Gogol's masterpiece, 'The Government Inspector', David Farr's new play explores human greed and immorality in the highest places.
'The UN Inspector' premiered at the National Theatre, London, in June 2005.
'This is one of the cleverest adaptations of a classic play I have ever seen - true to the spirit of Gogol's original, 'The Government Inspector', yet updating it with elegance and scabrous witto the 21st century... Hilariously funny and chilling.'
