This event has passed.
From the Director of the Academy Award-winning blockbuster The Hours and one of Britain’s best-loved films Billy Elliot, now an Olivier Award-winning musical, the magnificent West End and Broadway production of JB Priestley’s classic thriller, An Inspector Calls returns to The Lowry.
Originally produced by the National Theatre, the epic staging, raw emotion and a sweeping score are just some of the ingredients that have made An Inspector Calls a smash hit all over the world, winning 19 major awards, more than any other play in history.
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.
