Emotionally powerful and sharply relevant, this is a stylish new adaptation of JB Priestleyђ́ةs timeless masterpiece. An Inspector Calls is both an enthralling mystery and a scathing critique of a hypocritical, class-obsessed society. Set in 1912, it vividly evokes a thriving industrial age built on crippling social inequality.

They receive a surprise visit from Inspector Goole who investigating the suicide of a young girl, a former factory worker of Mr Birlingђ́ةs. Interrogating each family member in turn, Gooleђ́ةs incisive questioning reveals that each one not only had a connection to the girl but also may have played a significant part in her demise. As the familyђ́ةs callous actions are brought to light, so are dark and shameful secrets that threaten to tear the Birling household apart and destroy its reputation
