An Inspector Calls in London

Justifiably lauded as the theatrical event of a generation, Stephen Daldry's revival of An Inspector Calls has won more awards than any other production... ever. It has entertained more than four million theatregoers so far. Now it's on stage in theatreland again for a seasonal special, a strictly limited run kicking off from 4th November 2016.

What can you expect? The story goes like this. It's April 1912 and the scene is the home of the wealthy Birling family. Arthur and Sybil Birling, their daughter Sheila and son Eric are celebrating Sheila’s engagement to Gerald Croft, son of Sir George Croft, when the police, in the shape of Inspector Goole, unexpectedly arrive. The family's meal is ruined thanks to his investigations into the death of a young woman. And the revelations that flow from the inspector's findings shake the very foundations of their lives. More than that, they also challenge the audience to examine their consciences.

The play might be more than seventy years old. But you'll soon realise it's more relevant to today's world than ever. Billed as a 'must-see' for a new generation of theatregoers, your dramatic repertoire isn't complete without it. As the winner of 3 Oliviers in 1993, four Tonys in 1994 and a host more awards, it's already a champion.

This revival has enjoyed six major national tours throughout its history, in 1992, 1995, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2009 and 2011-12 and 2015-16, and audiences never tire of its remarkable appeal. Don't leave it too long to buy your tickets!

An Inspector Calls

Took my family to this show as we all love this play. Really excellent show but two caveats. The sound effects were rather loud and intrusive and the staging was too complicated. We all felt when we left the theatre that this play is best staged simply in a dining room type setting.

Dramatic and thought provoking

We went to see this because our son is studying it for GCSE English. Little did I know it was actually a thought provoking political metaphor which can lead to a hearty criticism of capitalism. At the beginning we are with the street children looking in on a wealthy family for whom everything seems to be going well. When the family retreat into their house at the end as if nothing had happened it reminded me of the ruling class including immoral bankers after the crash who, having been exposed, have managed to continue regardless. For me this show was about the wrong kind of resilience and a lesson about social responsibility and interdependence to be learned, if not after watching the play then 'in fire and blood and anguish' as the Inspector says... Apart from that it's an entertaining whodunnit ending with a dramatic twist!

A Play for Our Time!

A brilliant adaption of this old play - which still has relevance now in these strange times of the rise of popularism with Trump etc. The message still needs to be remembered from this play. The acting, set, costumes are brilliant in this original adaption of an old favourite. What I loved was when I went I took my 11 year old son out of school to watch this play - he loved it as did the rest of the audience - not regular theatre goers but teenagers - who the actors brought round. It was really to witness at the end how much this brand new audience loved the play.

Great theatre shame about the rude audience

What a shame that the play was completely ruined by two extremely noise school groups that showed complete disregard and rudeness to both the actors and audience. Their noise, chat, eating, laughter and general lack of respect for the play completely wrecked what should have been a fantastic experience. The theatre's ushers and management seemed to turn a blind eye (or ear) to the situation and did nothing to rectify things.

Terrible theatre

Can't really comment on the show as it was ruined by the theatre staff ushering us to the wrong seats, then moving us at the last minute and denying us access to our seats as the show had now started. No appolgies as we were at fault for sitting in the wrong seats.

Clever , powerful & incredibly relevant

Brilliant show - incredible play anyway, but in this production it is cleverly & powerfully staged to make it extraordinarily relevant to today and in fact to all times. The central message oftge need fir us all to look after each other on this planet could not have been more timely with anti Trump protests happening within a stones throw of the theatre.

This is a classic story which you may have read, however your attention is held to the end of the play. The artistic interpretation makes the play worth seeing. Be prepared there is no break in the performance, however, this means the cast is able to build the suspense throughout the play

Super evening of high drama

Great performances all round! There are lots of school kids attending which was really annoying as they can be very noisy. Teachers did their very best to control the distraction level... but a thoroughly entertaining production and well worth a visit

A British Masterpiece

I watched An Inspector Calls at The National Theatre when I was 24. Now I have watched it again at the age of 48, with my son at my side. I am proud to write that he is a Drama and English student at Edgehill University. This play has followed us through our lives, and is the cornerstone of my family philosophy. I hope that our nation does not forget it as it is being stripped of its riches to companies and individuals with little regard for the quality and value of lives.

The actress who played the daughter could not be heard clearly. Her voice and tone did not carry. The inspector's acting was poor. The father carried the play.

Interesting interpretation, keeps your attention all through

Noisy and gimmicky but always interesting, this production brings in children and adults not in the script who tend to stand about or mess around with the curtain in a rather pointless way. The scene in which the family are shut in their dining room having to shout at us to be heard properly seemed too long. Using a spiral staircase just led to awkwardness for the actors. The play is very wordy and moralizing so needs plenty of bright ideas to keep our attention but this production was overloaded with them,.
