New production of «The Government Inspector» staged in Riga

A stage production of «The Government Inspector» (Russian: «Ревизор»), based on the play by the Russian writer Nikolai Gogol, has been staged in Riga. Sergei Golomazov discusses the new production in an interview.

The publication on the Russian-language news site of LSM, Latvia's public broadcaster, opens with a joke that echoes the play's famous first line: «We have invited you, gentlemen, to give you a most pleasant piece of news: «The Government Inspector» has been staged in Riga!». The headline also tells readers not to trust the Khlestakovs and to stay on guard.

The available excerpt gives no other details. It does not name the theatre, the premiere date, the cast or Golomazov's role in the production. The report can be updated once the full interview is available.
