Prolific regional playwright Jeffrey Hatcher authored a new adaptation of Nikolai Gogol's "The Government Inspector" for Minneapolis' Guthrie Theater last year, and he tweaked the script for the Milwaukee Repertory Theater production that opened the company's 2009-10 Quadracci Powerhouse Theater season last week.
