An Inspector Calls

Year 10 – Drama GCSE – Theatre Review of An Inspector Calls

On the 13th of February 2003, I went to see a production of An Inspector Calls by John Boynton Priestley at Stoke on Trent theatre. I thought the choices that the director made, made the play better, although some of the acting, noise from the audience and having never ever read the play or book before somewhat made the play less exciting to watch.

The set was very well thought out, with the house dominating the center of the stage representing their lives. When the house was together their lives were lives were normal, when it fell apart it symbolized their lives falling apart. The cobbled street, street lamps and houses in the distance made the set look realistic, it gave the stage a real life feel and made it look livable like a real street. The telephone box added atmosphere to the play, this is because when the play was set this is the sort of style the telephone box would have been like. When the maid outside was doing her normal menial tasks it also made the play much better as instead of our attention just focusing on the main characters in the story. It showed other people continuing with their daily routine
