INSPECTOR
The play "The Inspector" is a satire, a comedy of morals and errors, which is part of the category of texts whose contemporaneity does not degrade over time; being a literary caricature of human defects, its relevance will cease with the disappearance of man... In the play "The Inspector" we have as protagonists the corrupt officials of a small Russian provincial town, led by the mayor, who receive disturbing news: an inspector will arrive incognito in their town to carry out some investigations. The clique's activities risk being discovered, thus, each of those involved assumes their own corrupt deeds and tries to rectify them as best they can. In the midst of organizing the cover-up, they receive the news that a suspicious individual has arrived at the inn, who presents the behavioral signs of an inspector...
