Stephen Daldry's award-winning National Theatre production of J.B. Priestley's classic play, staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
An Inspector Calls is at Milton Keynes Theatre from 22 to 26 February 2028. It's Stephen Daldry's National Theatre production of J.B. Priestley's classic, which first opened in London in 1992. Daldry returns to direct this tour, so it's the same production that started there.
The play is set in April 1912 and centres on the prosperous Birling family. Their dinner party is interrupted by the mysterious Inspector Goole, who arrives enquiring into the suicide of a working-class woman, Eva Smith. As the evening unfolds, he leaves the family confronting their own consciences. First published in 1945, the play is Priestley's blazing critique of social responsibility.
This version is billed as the definitive production of the drawing-room drama. It's been staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company and is hailed as the theatrical event of its generation, having won more awards than any other play in history and reached more than 4 million people worldwide with its epic staging, raw emotion and searing suspense.
