The Government Inspector by Akavarious Productions

Ever seen the back stage of a production functioning and perhaps breaking a leg and a chair literally. If not, then this play will treat you with all the anomalies , comic disasters and ego clashes of a theatre crew. 

The Government inspector is to arrive Incognito in a small town full of corruption. He is the threat the lavish lives of the Mayor, the Magistrate and many more who thrive on black money and are many more people who are the are assets of deep corruption and fun on stage.




News is afloat that the inspector is living in a cheap inn and his identity is declared by his unpaid bills. Hence forth, preparations are made to great him and treat him in the most proper way.


Recommendations, improvements and improvisations, all go along on a roller coaster of laughter and madness. The bunch of actors are in their fury of cutting and eating lines and making up for the forgotten props. Mixed along are their anxieties, spontaneity, songs and love triangles trying to find a place in the play.



The play is absolute fun and cheerful in its display of life as art and art as life. Full of colorful costumes, hysterical songs and dances. They end they play with relief of having made through it and throwing around shoes and heck for the glitches others caused. The play turns out just the way it had ought to be, not missing its mark in betraying the audience with their view of fiction mingled with reality.

A must watch to believe - The Government Inspector written by Russian playwright Nikolai Gogol, a hit show by Akavarious Productions with Adhaar Khurana as the gem of an actor.
