Synopsis

Number twenty-three in NHB's Drama Classics Series, providing the world's great drama at a great price.

The introduction to this edition of Hedda Gabler includes a short biography of Nikolai Gogol and chronology of his work; a guide to what happens in the play; a short history of the play and its context; and a brief guide to language and translation.

In this ever-topical satire of small-town corruption and cravenness, bumbling and inefficient town officials are thrown into a panic when they learn that a Government Inspector is coming, perhaps incognito. When a well-dressed rogue arrives, he quickly realizes he is presumed to be the Inspector and takes advantage of the officials' dinners, bribes, etc. When the officials realize their mistake-just after the rogue leaves-the real Inspector arrives.

Translated and introduced by Kenneth McLeish.

The Government Inspector is a set text for AQA Drama and Theatre Studies A/AS Level.
