An Inspector Calls
 

A celebratory evening for the Birling family is interrupted by the arrival of the mysterious Inspector Goole. As an investigation unfolds, it is revealed that each family member played a part in the death a young woman. This classic play is a must-see for a whole new generation.

When Inspector Goole arrives unexpectedly at the prosperous Birling family home, their peaceful dinner party is shattered by his investigations into the death of a young woman named Eva Smith.  His startling revelations shake the very foundations of their lives and challenge us all to examine our consciences.  The play veers from a typical “who done it” to exploring the deeper question of “what did it”.  Priestley critiques the selfishness and moral indifference of the upper class, urging audiences to reflect on their responsibilities towards others as it is revealed how each of the players contributed to another’s tragic end. More relevant now than ever, this classic play is a must-see for a whole new generation.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
