An Inspector Calls

As the well-to-do Birlings celebrate an engagement in the family, the festive evening is suddenly punctured by an uninvited visitor: an inspector looking into the death of a young woman. Questions multiply and guilt mounts, and Inspector Goole’s grim revelations begin to crack the foundations of the Birlings’ comfortable lives. Before long, they are all challenged to examine their decisions and consciences. Filled with Hitchcockian suspense, this enigmatic tale is a plea for a more just society, and a foreboding of the consequences if we fail to attain it. Sept. 26-Oct. 20, 2024
