Cambridge Edition March 2020

ARTS & CULTURE

AN INSPECTOR CALLS J B Priestley’s classic thriller An Inspector Calls is perhaps more relevant than ever, if its enduring popularity is anything to go by. Stephen Daldry’s production for the National Theatre has just completed a sell-out London season and American tour – picking up a string of awards along the way – and is set to return to theatres this spring. An otherwise peaceful dinner party is turned upside down when Inspector Goole arrives to investigate the death of a young woman. His troubling revelations pick the prosperous Birling family apart, causing all of us to question our consciences. Seen by more than five million people worldwide, this visionary production presents a radical and challenging interpretation of the play. You can catch An Inspector Calls at the Cambridge Arts Theatre from 17 to 21 March, with tickets from £20. cambridgeartstheatre.com
