The Revizor

Quiproquos and laughter in Russia!

About

In a remote Russian province, a young Petersburg swindler is mistaken for an Inspector General (a Revizor), and the Governor and local notables try to cover up their town's disastrous management and bribe this stranger to win his favour.

A jubilant comedy about corruption and imposture performed by 7 brilliant artists that has already passed the 150 performance mark.

After Faust, The Novel of Monsieur Molière and The Double, Le Ranelagh is delighted to welcome back director Ronan Rivière and his team with this funny, bitter success!

Press coverage

LE FIGARO «An effective production, admirably served by the actors».»

LE JOURNAL DU DIMANCHE ★★★ «The cast's jubilation is no small part of the play's diabolical effectiveness.»

BFM TV «The misunderstandings, the anxiety - it's all very funny!»

CHARLIE HEBDO «A cruel and jubilant Revizor.»

L'HUMANITÉ «The result is worthy of the project. Not only is the play as acidic as it should be, but it reveals a comedic force that is brought to the fore naturally.»
