The Government Inspector

Bravo, bravo, bravo! What an evening of theatre. For me it ticked all the boxes. Played at a frantic life depending pace, achingly funny (farce but also played with Goon Show absurdity and a dash of satire) – a totally immersive experience for the audience (half of whom ended up being in it, one way or another). Cast and audience all committing 100% and as one to the success of the show. The plot is immaterial (though it’s a good old fashioned case of mistaken identity and getting away with it in grand style). Full on, in your face fun. Next time I want to be in it (and full marks for the casts interval show too)!
