‘An Inspector Calls’

Said police detective arrives at the home of the upper-middle-class Birling family at dinnertime, interrogating each family member about the apparent suicide of a young woman. The audience might note the imagery of the World Wars and take this chance to examine our current individual and national consciousnesses, while the Birlings have the chance for a fresh start and then fail to act on it. Director Stephen Daldry (The Crown) revives his 1992 Olivier- and Tony-winning direction of J. B. Priestley’s classic play.
