The Government Inspector - TY Drama Jan 30th,31st 2020

 ‘The Government Inspector‘- a comedy by Nikolai Gogol, adapted by Ann Blake.

Rehearsals are well under way for this year’s Transition Year production of

‘The Government Inspector’ with over 50 students taking to the stage under the watchful eye of directors Ann Blake and Niamh Bowen.

The Government Inspector is a raucous comedy centred on mistaken identity in a small rural town in Russia.

The main character Khlestakov is a roguish, hapless visitor who inadvertently causes a stir when the influential people of the town believe him to be the visiting government inspector. The antics of the powerful and rich in covering up the corruption of the town results in many humorous twists and turns.

Expect fine musical moments and bad romance, in a town populated by nosey post mistresses, incompetent school principals, an arrogant mayor, his vacuous wife and children in this colourful dramatisation performed in the evocative surroundings of Dance Limerick.   

Performance dates are Thursday January 30^th and Friday January 31^st 2020.

Show starts at 8pm.

Tickets are available from the school office 061-451447. Adults €15/Students €10.
