SUMMARY:The Government Inspector
DESCRIPTION:Written By: Nikolai Gogol\, Adapted by Terri Brabon OAM \nCreative Team: Director\, Greg Elliott \n\nThe Government Inspector is a very recent Australian adaptation by Terri Brabon OAM\, of a Nikolai Gogol Russian play. It is set in an Australian outback town and the public officials are all totally corrupt. The “Gov” of the town (a former real estate man – who made his money from some very shonky deals) gets wind of the fact that a government official is coming to the town – incognito – to audit the town’s finances and to trace missing government money. At the same time a vagabond is discovered in the local hotel complaining about the service at the hotel and the quality of the food and refusing to pay his bill. An hilarious case of mistaken identity ensues\, with the vagabond assumed to be the Government Inspector and offered countless bribes to ‘keep him sweet’. The play satirises corruption and draws on some modern day parallels. This adaptation was performed by TheatreiNQ in Queensland\, to rave reviews. \n\nInformation Session: \n\nAudition Information: \n\n\n\nAudition Information #:0\n\n\nDate:\n05/04/2025\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n13:00 – 18:00\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:0\n\n\nRole Name:\n“THE GOV” BARRY BARRYMORE\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nCorrupt Property Developer.\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:1\n\n\nRole Name:\nAMOS FIODORIVICH\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nCorrupt Mayor.\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:2\n\n\nRole Name:\nLUCINDA BINDER\n\n\nGender:\nFemale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nCorrupt Town Planner.\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:3\n\n\nRole Name:\nARTIE PHELAN\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nCorrupt Councillor.\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:4\n\n\nRole Name:\nWARREN DOBBS\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nCorrupt CEO of Local Council.\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:5\n\n\nRole Name:\nLAUREN DOBBS\n\n\nGender:\nFemale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nWife of Warren\, corrupt local business identity.\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:6\n\n\nRole Name:\nANNA BARRYMORE\n\n\nGender:\nFemale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nAmbitious Socialite Wife of “The Gov”.\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:7\n\n\nRole Name:\nMARYA BARRYMORE\n\n\nGender:\nFemale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nSpoilt and brainless daughter of Barry & Anna.\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:8\n\n\nRole Name:\nMISHKA\n\n\nGender:\nFemale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nSelf-serving servant of Barry & Anna.\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:9\n\n\nRole Name:\nALEX BRAGG\n\n\nGender:\nFemale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nSpoilt silver spooner used to living off daddy.\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:10\n\n\nRole Name:\nJOSIE\n\n\nGender:\nFemale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nProstitute from an even smaller town close by.\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:11\n\n\nRole Name:\nSTAGEHANDS – The Storytellers\, The Narrators\, The Watch Dogs.\n\n\nGender:\nUndefined\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nThe Narrations are read by a collection of actors playing “Stagehands” who act as a kind of Greek chorus ] .
