Student review: An Inspector Calls

Performance Review
Stephen Daldry’s multi award-winning National Theatre production of JB Priestley’s thriller, An Inspector Calls, is touring the UK. Here, students from George Abbot School share their impression of the production at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre.

After a hiatus from the theatre, we were pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the production of An Inspector Calls. The acting was full of charisma and passion, with all the actors embracing their roles. Their interpretations of these iconic characters brought JB Priestley’s ideals and story to life.
