	An Inspector Calls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During a party celebrating the engagement of the daughter of the upper middle-class Birling family to the son of another wealthy family, an inspector (Inspector Goole) calls and announces that he wishes to ask some questions concerning the suicide of a young girl.
		After the inspector leaves it emerges that at the time at which the main events of the story are taking place there has been no suicide and that the inspector was not a real policeman.
		Another theory is that the inspector is the ghost of the unborn child of Eva Smith.

		The Inspector also makes the audience realise that they are "members of one body" and that they should try their best to help people like Eva Smith, otherwise, as the Inspector implies, "they will be taught in fire and blood and anguish".
		Whereas the Inspector, who states in his final speech that "they will be taught in fire and blood and anguish" indicating that there will be a war, is elevated by the use of dramatic irony.
		An example of this is during Mr Birling's and the Inspector's speeches.

	Philip Baedecker -- Review of An Inspector Calls
		"An Inspector Calls" is perhaps the most famous of his thinly veiled polemics, now presented in a competent production from Dominion Stage.
		"An Inspector Calls" is not exactly a whodunit, although it is written in that classic style.
		Enigmatic Inspector Goole interrupts the contented Birlings at a celebratory dinner party and proceeds to probe their lives until it is clear each one has played an important, though unrelated, role in driving the young woman to her death.

	BBC - Oxford Stage - An Inspector Calls
		JB Priestley's An Inspector Calls is a detective story with ghostly overtones, as well as a vigorous political statement.
		Sybil's father - a successful industrialist hoping for a knighthood - her mother, and her brother are also present, all happily cocooned in a world of riches and privilege.
		This echoes the family's change in fortunes, while the wartime setting calls to mind the context in which this 1946 play was written, as well as stressing the threat of social decay and destruction that the play's central speech warns of.

		Sheila is the daughter of the family and is described as," a pretty girl in her early twenties...pleased about life...excited" The audience could see her as a sweet lively young girl who appreciates life in her little bubble that is the house and lifestyle which surrounds her.
		She still feels that her acts were immoral and that they should not have done everything which they had done as it may have affected someone else.

	Whitworth Press Release - Inspector Calls Theatre
		Into this cozy scene intrudes the harsh figure of a police inspector investigating the suicide of a young, working-class woman.
		In An Inspector Calls, Priestley, like the authors of morality plays of the late Middle Ages, intends to instruct his audiences about the condition of humanity, caught between the religious need for goodness and the temptations of evil.
		Hornor says he has wanted to direct An Inspector Calls for many years because of how the play reminds people that their actions have consequences and that their words can hurt or help others.

		A police officer visits with some questions about a mill girl who killed herself, and gradually brings to light every member of the family's complicity in her fate: father fired her from the mill, mother refused her help from the charity she ran, son seduced and abandoned her, and so on.
		In 1946, and in most textbooks since then, the play was seen as an attack on class and on the kind of alienation that denies responsibility to others.
		An Inspector Calls' transfer after many years at the Garrick to the Playhouse Theatre is the opportunity to revisit Stephen Daldry's award-winning reinterpretation of the J. Priestley classic after a decade, and the result is a shocking disappointment.

	An Inspector Calls
		Inspector is unintimidated by Mr Birling, who tries to frighten him by telling him that Colonel Roberts is “an old friend of mine.”(p.16).
		An Inspector Calls is a didactic play with a clear moral and political message which Priestley wanted the audience to accept.
		To Mrs Birling, any speech which is less than humble and respectful is ‘impertinent’ ‑ because as a lady of the upper class with an important husband, she `deserves' to be treated with the utmost deference ‑ an attitude which Goole (and Sheila) regard with utter contempt.

		Priestley provides extensive stage directions to An Inspector Calls which would prove extremely helpful to anyone wishing to stage the play, and equally useful to someone who was studying it as a text.
		Similarly, Priestley’s description of Inspector Goole as creating “an impression of massiveness, solidity and purpose” is a key characteristic, helping to explain his otherwise surprising ability to dominate the arrogant and hypocritical Birlings and Gerald.
		Eh, Inspector?” This shows that Mr Birling is not very concerned about Eva’s suicide because he speaks “rather impatiently” as if he does not see the point of the Inspector’s questions about Eva and they are stressing him out.

		In the role of Inspector Goole a lugubrious Jeremy Austin skilfully peeled off the veneer of smug respectability of this upper-middle-class family like a good chat show host, allowing his interviewees to divulge their secrets with the minimum of intervention.
		The self-justification of Sybil Birling (a superb Jan Bursby) and defensive rantings of her husband Arthur (a somewhat laboured performance by Russ Guillaume) served as a good foil to the younger members of the family, a generation prepared to accept the social changes taking place.
