The Tufts University Department of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies invites you to enjoy a live-streamed performance of “The Government Inspector,” a wild, witty, and wickedly satirical play that exposes corruption, avarice, and human ignorance with biting hilarity. This production is based on Jeffrey Hatcher’s timely and spirited adaptation of Nikolai Gogol’s classic play and is directed by Sheriden Thomas. When town locals learn that a government inspector has arrived on an official visit, in disguise, panic ensues. Once they see that they will be called to account, the locals set off on all the silly, incompetent, and laughable human behavior that guilt can evoke. You are invited to enjoy these naughty bouffons as they try to escape justice when a reckoning finally arrives.

Viewing is at https://tuftsdramadance.anywhereseat.com and will be available through April 8.
