Although it was written nearly 173 years ago, the
Inspector General by the Russian playwright Nikolai
Gogol, is considered as one of theatre’s great plays.
The play is a comedy of errors, portraying human greed,
stupidity and the deep corruption of powers in Tsarist
Russia. The story centres around a group of corrupt local
dignitaries who mistake a snobbish St. Petersburg youth
for a high ranking Inspector General. Gogol’s satire is
directed by the accomplished Algerian director, Loutfi
Bensebaa and performed by Afaq Group for Dramatic
Arts. The group was established in 1991 and won a
number of awards for their performance of Taiha at
national and international festivals in Jordan and the UAE.
