Inspector Calls, An

Inspector Calls, An

From Stephen Daldry, the Oscar nominated Director of The Reader, The Hours and one of Britain's best-loved films Billy Elliot, comes the magnificent production of J.B. Priestley's classic thriller, An Inspector Calls - direct from its fourth West End season. Read more …

Hailed as the theatrical event of our generation winning more awards than any other play in history, this landmark production from the National Theatre has thrilled audiences in the West End, on Broadway and throughout the world with its epic and wildly imaginative staging, raw emotion, evocative score, lashing rain and chilling suspense.

When Inspector Goole arrives unexpectedly at the prosperous Birling family home, their peaceful dinner party is shattered by his investigations into the death of a young woman. His startling revelations shake the very foundations of their lives and challenge us all to examine our consciences.


The critical consensus

Karen Archer and Geoff Leesley are decent value as the unfeeling Birling parents, more concerned about social status. But it’s Henry Gilbert as their dissolute son and Kelly Hotten as their conscience-stricken daughter who afford them some redeeming humanity, even if it’s rather drowned out by the play’s pyrotechnic spectacle, shouty sermonising and dominating score.
