Ne zaboravite da je sve na svijetu prevara, sve je nešto drugo nego što je uistinu.

Revizor bez sumnje spada među najpoznatije i najbolje komedije svjetske dramske literature. Događa se u dalekoj provinciji u kojoj vladaju nered i korupcija. U takvoj sredini, pojavu kicoškog besposlenjaka i blefera Hlestakova, mještani zbog gluposti i straha zamjenjuju za državnog revizora. Konstantni nesporazumi, koji se temelje na pogrešnom razumjevanju stvarnosti čine da pravog revizora uopće ne upoznamo. Umjesto toga caruje lažna i potkupljiva institucija revizorstva prikazana kao zbilja preplašenih činovnika. Grijesi su tako rodili strah, taj pak izmišljenog revizora. Komedija oslikava svakodnevnu prosječnost, u kojoj se možemo prepoznati kao lijeni, uplašeni i malodušni slabići: miješamo se u živote drugih, k tome ogovaramo i lažemo, dok, s druge strane, moćnijima hoćemo po svaku cijenu ugađati. "Danas", reći će mladi slovenski redatelj, "unatoč nevjerici da je kazalištem moguće odgajati puk, barem ostajemo u nadi da još uvijek aktualnim Revizorom, makar možemo odvaliti poneku pljusku i ublažiti svoju moralnu i romantičnu ogorčenost."

Don't forget that everything in the world is deception, everything is something else but what it really is.
The  Inspector General is undoubtedly among the best and most famous comedies in the world drama. It is set in a secluded provincial town where there is chaos and corruption. In such environment, a dandyish idler and bluffer Hlestakov is mistaken for the government inspector out of nonsense and fear of the natives. Constant misunderstandings, based on a false perception of reality, lead to the fact that the real inspector is never introduced. Instead, false and corruptible government inspection is represented as the real world of scared government employees. Sins have thus generated fear, and fear in its turn an invented government inspector. This comedy depicts daily mediocrity in which we can be recognized in lazy, scared and dejected softies: we interfere in other people's lives, we gossip and lie, while on the other hand we try to please bigwigs at any cost. "Today" - says the young Slovenian director – "despite it is hard to believe that theatre can educate the masses, at least we can hope that with The Inspector General, which is still topical, we can slap somebody's face and ease our moral and romantic bitterness".
