An Inspector CallsStephen 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 Novello Theatre

Built in 1905 to form a pair with the near-identical Aldwych Theatre, the Novello Theatre (formerly known as the Strand Theatre) is one of London's more spectacular theatres and has matching roster of hit shows. An attractive columned exterior gives way to a gorgeous foyer and auditorium, with marble, polished brass and gold the dominant materials and gods and cupids sprawled across every available surface.
