Production History The Government Inspector
World Premiere
By Nikolai Gogol Adapted by Armina LaManna and David O'Connor Directed by David O'Connor November 21 - December 28, 2008 When a small town full of bumbling, loony officials hear that a government inspector is paying a visit, they are thrown into a panic! Since its first performance in 1836, this bustling satire from the pen of Russian comedian Nikolai Gogol has resonated with audiences all over the world. This all-new adaptation is an imaginative, madcap theatrical event perfect for ages eight to ninety-eight! "A play that makes you smile." –The Philadelphia Inquirer "There's so much to enjoy in Lantern's production that I can't imagine anyone going home disappointed." –Philadelphia City Paper "A howling success... this show is a winner on all counts." –Broad Street Review "This farce definitely should tickle the funnybone!" –CurtainUp
