Media
“Thrilling and pertinent theatre.” – The Guardian
“For all its Edwardian setting and its mid-twentieth-century no-exit philosophy, An Inspector Calls speaks with ease to our own times, bedeviled with ‘alternate facts’ and ethical doubts.” – The Arts Fuse
“A staple of English Literature GCSE; we’ve all grown up knowing the twists and turns of J.B Priestley’s classic play… emphasises the themes of society, class, gender and generational divide.” – Get the Chance
