As one of the most critically acclaimed productions of a generation, this was definitely not one to miss.
Stephen Daldry’s multi award-winning and critically acclaimed production of JB Priestly’s An Inspector Calls returned to London’s West End in autumn 2016.
Having won more awards than any other play in history, this glorious production has thrilled audiences around the world with its incredibly innovative staging, gripping drama, imaginative sound design and thrilling suspense.
Set in 1912, the play follows the unexpected arrival of Inspector Goole at the home of the wealthy Birling family, interrupting Arthur Birling, his wife Sybil, and their son and daughter (Eric and Sheila) who are celebrating the announcement of Sheila’s engagement to Gerald Croft, heir to one of the most prosperous family businesses in England.
Arriving on the business of investigating the death of a young woman, the inspector soon unearths the hidden connections that all members of the family have with the deceased lady, forcing us to reassess both the family, and even ourselves, in the light of these new revelations.
