Bribes, mis-directed contracts, mis-allocation of public money, fiddled expenses. Panic. Sound familiar? Nikolai Gogol’s classic satire on bureaucracy and human vanity here presented by Communicado, one of Scotland ’s most trailblazing theatre companies, in a co-production with The Tron, Glasgow. A swinging, fast-paced, very black comedy featuring a cast of ten performers, with live music played by the company.
" An exuberantly funny and inventive show... hilariously powerful and raucous live music. The whole show radiates that inspired collision of Scottish and European surrealism, tinged with furious satire, that made Mulgrew famous 25 years ago, and now seems reborn, for new times " **** The Scotsman
