She had a lot to say - far too much - so she had to go.

 

An Inspector Calls is considered to be one of the classics of  20th century English theatre. The play focuses on the prosperous Birling family whose comfortable existence is upset when Inspector Goole comes calling. An impoverished young working girl named Eva has committed suicide, and Goole hopes that the Birlings will help him find out why. As the evening progresses, a series of flashbacks and startling revelations shake the very foundations of their lives and challenge us all to examine our consciences. A twist ending adds a mystical, thought-provoking touch to the proceedings.

 

 „As concentrated a piece of theatrical perfection as you will find anywhere“ Daily Telegraph

 

 Als die Fabrikantenfamilie Birling die Verlobung ihrer Tochter Sheila feiert, platzt Inspektor Goole herein und verkündet den Selbstmord eines Mädchens namens Eva Smith. Alle Familienmitglieder werden befragt und es enthüllen sich nach und nach Geheimnisse... Innerhalb der Familie kochen Streitigkeiten hoch, Weltbilder geraten ins Wanken. Plötzlich aber scheint wieder alles in Ordnung zu sein, oder etwa doch nicht?
