Stephen Daldry's groundbreaking revival of An Inspector Calls was hailed as "the defining production of the 1990s" by The Daily Telegraph and its return to the West End, transferring to Wyndham's Theatre from a sold-out season at the Novello, is claiming a new generation of converts to its theatrical brilliance. And it is worthy of such praise on a number of levels, not least of which is Ian MacNeil's striking, expressionistic set - an Edwardian doll's house tottering up from the cobblestones of a Blitzed street in 1945; the two ages setting up a pertinent tension for our Inspector to exploit. Because as the mysterious Inspector Goole systematically exposes the guilt of each member of the bubble-wrapped Birling family in the case of a working-class girl's suicide, he is expounding the cry of the post-war generation for a radical social conscience. The end is as dramatic as it is poignant - a "coup de theatre that would induce shivers down the spine however many times you saw the piece" (The Independent) - in this cracking, atmospheric, timeless thriller.About Wyndhams Theatre
Wyndham's Theatre opened in Charing Cross Road on 16 November 1899, and was owned by Charles Wyndham. One of its biggest hits was Sandy Wilson's The Boy Friend which ran for 2078 performances before transferring to Broadway. During the sixties and early seventies, stars such as Alec Guinness, Vanessa Redgrave and Diana Rigg all took to its stage. More about Wyndhams Theatre
