Summary
Nikolai Gogol's The Inspector General, known also as The Government Inspector, was first published in 1836. It was based on an anecdote first recounted to Gogol by Pushkin. Laurence Olivier plays the irresponsible gambler Ivan Alexandrovic Khlestakov in this satire on the greed, corruption and stupidity of Imperial Russia.
"Theatre Royal" is a series of radio dramas first broadcast by the BBC in 1953 and in the USA soon after. Starring many of Britain's finest actors, it was the only radio series in which Lord Olivier took a major role.

old theatrical adaptation
this is an older theatrical adaptation of the short play "The Inspector General" by Nikolai Gogol from 1836. considering this, i thought it was quite good. lies, corruption, frivolity and an expected resolution.
