Summary
Widely regarded as one of J.B. Priestley's most successful works, An Inspector Calls combines drama and intrigue with an unforgiving verdict for society of the time. Sharp and unapologetic, it never fails to excite.
A BBC Radio 4 production of Priestley's classic thriller, starring Toby Jones and Frances Barber. The Birling family are spending a happy evening celebrating the engagement of Sheila Birling to Gerald Croft - a marriage that will result in the merging of two successful local businesses.
Yet, just when everything seems to be going so well, they receive a surprise visit from an Inspector Goole who is investigating the suicide of a young girl.
As the Inspector reveals more about the circumstances that led to the death of Eva Smith, each member of the family comes under the spotlight, and questions of guilt and responsibility are raised.... Toby Jones, David Calder, Frances Barber and Morven Christie are amongst the cast in this BBC Radio 4 production from 2010.
The Classic Radio Theatre range presents notable radio productions of much-loved plays by some of the most renowned playwrights, and starring some of our finest actors.

My son had gcse and we had play written play on radio preformed and film.
What was one of the most memorable moments of An Inspector Calls (Classic Radio Theatre)?
The voices sometimes people can give things away by what they say so blanking an visuals helps take the constant in for exams
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances? How does this one compare?
These compare better than audio stories read by one person are real actors bring it all to life's
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes it makes you laugh and cry because everyone can be mean or generous in life and be taken for fools . Good learning that words can be stronger than action as they cause actions effected others total lies
Any additional comments?
Very good story on what you say what you do can lead to devastation from what your option is how you lead others in the way you complain and sometimes being too good too. I can see why this is a favourite for schools in gcse English lit.

Plot twist !!!!!
This is the best English book I have done in school, there's a complete plot twist and it is really worth reading/listening to, and that's coming from a 15 year old girl in quarantine :) I would strongly recommend your listen to it and read along as it feels nicer to just follow along :)

Wonderful
A wonderful tale of moral good. This is a story of class divide, male domination, price for reputation and arrogance.

really enjoyed the play, well thought out
The actors were sympathetic to Priestley s message and kept the suspension throughout. A well performed production that was very thpught provokong and as relevant today as it was then.
