Short Blog Notice:
I avoid writing full length blogs for all books. I still create a page for my completionist proclivities.
These can be books when I feel I don't have something new I can add over existing online content
OR when I don't like the book.
Introduction
I read Nikolai Gogol’s ‘The Inspector General‘ in 2025. This was luckily after I had visited London for the first time in 2024 and early 2025. During both my visits, I took time to attend theatre performances which abound in the city. Seeing the production quality and scale of this plays – I realized the possibilities of the medium.
Gogol’s play is widely popular with multiple renditions across ages. So there is little I have to write about it. What I can say is that – I would quite like to enjoy it performed in a theatre.
