Adios Amigos

A play about Cork

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Johnny Hanrahan 

  • Adapted / Translated From

    Nikolai Gogol

  • Author Notes

    A samba musical based on The Government Inspector by Nikolai Gogol.

  • Synopsis

    In Gogol's play, the dispossessed are shopkeepers, in Adios Amigos they are Nori Indians. In both cases, the statement is the same - a centralised political system, hijacked by a particular section of society, inevitably becomes corrupt and inefficient and dehumanises the luckless majority.
