In a Lebanese mountain town in 1966, word arrives that an inspector is coming from Beirut. The town’s officials rush to put the municipality in order, protect their standing, and prepare for the questions he might ask. But when the inspector arrives, what will he find behind the town’s carefully prepared welcome?
The Department of English and Creative Arts at the School of Arts and Sciences presents Kabse (كبسة), a Lebanese Arabic adaptation of Nikolai Gogol’s The Inspector General.
