What is THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR about?
Set in a small parochial town in late 19th century Britain, THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR sets the action where the corrupt local officials mistake an over-privileged, vainglorious liar, who just happens to be passing through the town, for a high-ranking government inspector. In a desperate bid to cover up their crimes and escape censure, the town's Governor and his cronies will pull out all the stops to try and bribe the dishonest buffoon with money, wine, and women.
