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