An Inspector Calls

Work:: An Inspector Calls (S2343)

When Inspector Goole calls unexpectedly on the prosperous Birling family investigating the suicide of a poor young local woman his startling revelations shatter the very foundation of their lives. As the Inspector asks insinuating questions it becomes clear that they all bear guilt for the destruction of the woman they have variously exploited for cheap labour, cheap sex and worse - And then the plot thickens. Written at the end of the second World War and set before the first, An Inspector Calls is a brilliantly compelling and haunting thriller.

Reviews

julie booth: 16Oct15:
brilliant performances marred only by the behaviour of certain members of the audience, how the actors managed to keep going at times was a credit to them. I do wish children were taught how to behave when visiting the theatre.
