Theatre South Carolina has announced a change to its season main stage schedule.

The play The Inspector General is being replaced by A Cabal of Hypocrites by Mikhail Bulkagov. The run dates and location--April 18-27 in Drayton Hall Theater--remain the same. University professor Robert Richmond will direct.

A Cabal of Hypocrites is a Russian drama from 1930 about the life of the French writer Moliere and his struggles with censorship and autocracy under the reign of King Louis XIV. The play was seen by the Stalin-led Soviet government as a dangerous criticism, and was itself censored, banned after only seven performances. Bulgakov went on to become revered in Russia as a leader and source of inspiration for independent thought.
