An Inspector Calls
by
J. B. Priestley
directed by
Michael O’Connor
England 1912. A mysterious suicide – how is the privileged Birling
family connected to the dead working-class girl Eva Smith? Arthur
Birling, a successful manufacturer, believes that if man minds
his own business and takes care of his family no harm will come.
Inspector Goole has other ideas and his persistent questioning
tears down the seemingly perfect façade put on by the Birlings.
An Inspector Calls is a scathing critique of the hypocrisies of
Edwardian English society. J. B. Priestley’s drama is today considered
to be a classic in mid- 20 th century contemporary theatre. It
combines elements of mystery and socially conscious family drama.
