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 CallsTook 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 provokingWe 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.

Thought provokingI booked this show as my son is reading 'An Inspector Calls' for GCSE English but didn't know what to expect as I'd never read it. It was thought provoking and well acted. The music added dramatic effect.

Great theatre shame about the rude audienceWhat 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.
