News Story
You only have until Saturday 24 May to catch The Government Inspector, our season opener for Festival 2025. Hailed as 'playful, outrageous and unexpectedly sharp' (The Spy in the Stalls) by the critics, this is your last chance to witness Gogol's comic masterpiece in the Festival Theatre.
Directed by Gregory Doran, with a cast led by TV's Tom Rosenthal, The Government Inspector is 'great fun, precisely what we need right now, everyone ramping up the laughs in Phil Porter's excellent new adaptation.' (Chichester Observer)
And on Friday 23 May, after the show you can hear from members of the company at our free Pre-Show Talk.
Tom Rosenthal spices up the central role in Phil Porter’s fruity adaptation.
The Times
High-octane from the get-go, with plenty of physical comedy.
Portsmouth News
Highly recommended if you need your funny bone tickled.
My Cultural Life
Beautifully paced, excellently executed and marvellously written. It’s an excellent start to the Chichester season.
