Written at the end of the Second World War, and set before the First, An Inspector Calls is a brilliantly compelling and haunting thriller. It is also one of the country’s most popular plays which, in Stephen Daldry’s superb production, has now been hailed by The Daily Mail as a modern “masterpiece.” When Inspector Goole calls unexpectedly on the prosperous Birling family, his startling revelations not only shatter the very foundations of their lives, but challenge us all to examine our consciences.
