Following a sell-out tour in 2022, and a sell-out Liverpool Empire Theatre run in early 2023, Stephen Daldry’s multi award-winning National Theatre production of JB Priestley’s An Inspector Calls returns to the city for another Empire stint from 19th – 23rd November 2024. Casting to be announced.
The story? It’s a classic: when Inspector Goole arrives unexpectedly at the prosperous Birling family home, their peaceful dinner party is shattered by his investigations into the death of a young woman. His startling revelations shake the very foundations of their lives and challenge us all to examine our consciences. More relevant now than ever, An Inspector Calls is a must-see for a whole new generation.
“We’re thrilled to be presenting another tour of An Inspector Calls,” says Director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours). “We could never have dreamt that it would be just as relevant today as it was when it was first written.”
Since 1992, Daldry’s seminal production of An Inspector Calls has won a total of 19 major awards, including four Tony Awards and three Olivier Awards, and has played to more than 5 million theatregoers worldwide. Stephen Daldry is an award-winning director and producer, who has directed theatre productions for London’s West End & New York’s Broadway, including Billy Elliot, The Inheritance and An Inspector Calls, winning multiple Olivier & Tony awards. His latest play Stranger Things: The First Shadow opened at London’s Phoenix Theatre in December 2023. Stephen has also directed six feature films which have all been nominated for major industry awards. Netflix’s The Crown, which he serves as Executive Producer, recently released the final season, with Stephen back directing the last episode.
Stephen served as Producer on the opening & closing ceremonies for the London 2012 Olympics and was Artistic Director on Vogue World London in 2023.
