Playhouse Theatre
Following multiple Broadway and West End runs, national and international tours and a huge collection of Olivier and Tony awards, Stephen Daldry’s renowned production of the JB Priestley classic thriller An Inspector Calls returned to London at the Playhouse Theatre for a strictly limited run from November 2016. 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.
Stephen Daldry is known for his acclaimed work in cinema, with his films Billy Elliot, The Hours, The Reader and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close all having being nominated for Best Picture and Best Director at the Academy Awards. He has also seen great success on the West End, most recently with productions of Skylight starring Bill Nighy and Carey Mulligan, The Audience starring Helen Mirren, as well as the smash hit eleven year run of Billy Elliot: The Musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre.

Following this huge early success, the show went on to have both West End and Broadway transfers (where it won four Tony awards), as well as going on extensive national and international tours.
