Since 1992, Daldry’s production has won 19 major awards, including four Tony Awards in 1994 and three Olivier Awards.
Written at the end of the Second World War and set before the First, An Inspector Calls begins when the mysterious Inspector Goole calls unexpectedly on the prosperous Birling family home, shattering their peaceful family dinner party with his investigations into the death of a young woman.
The production is designed by Ian MacNeil and features lighting by Rick Fisher and original music by Oscar-winning composer Stephen Warbeck.
