About the play

A family engagement celebration is interrupted by the arrival of an inspector of police who informs the family that his visit is due to a young woman's apparent suicide. When questioned as to how this was relevant to any person here, the inspector shows the man of the house a photograph of the dead woman. From that point on a mystery begins to unfold. Accusations fly back and forth.

Involvements become apparent and guilt begins to take control as the inspector systematically brings down the walls of each of those present. With a story built on morals and an ending that those who have watched still talk about today, An Inspector Calls is a classic in every sense of the word. A gripping drama with lessons learned and one never forgotten.

Character details:

Character	Description
Arthur Birling	50's - Head of the Birling houshold and owner of his own manufacturing company. He is your definitive 1920's, white collar, head of the house. His opinion is the only opinion. Pompous and arrogant.
Sybil Birling	50's - Wife of Arthur and woman of the house. Very self assured and protective of her family. Holds high positions in some philanthropic organisations.
Eric Birling	20's - Young son of the Birlings. Trouble follows this man. He loves a drink, loves the girls and loves finding any way possible to do things the quick way, which is not always the right way. A kind hearted rogue, who usually finds himself in trouble because of the fact that he acts before he considers the consequences of his actions.
Gerald Croft	30's - Engaged to Sheila Birling. The son of a wealthy business man (who is a competitor of Arthur). Has finally proposed to Sheila after he virtually disappeared for a few months without any contact. Believes himself to be an upright man, but has a skeleton in the closet, which could ruin his future.
Inspector Goole	Late 50's - An inspector of police who arrives at the Birling household to ask questions regarding the suicide of a young lady earlier in the evening. He commands respect without being overbearing. Mysterious and thorough. Bit by bit he begins to break down the walls of each of the household through information he somehow gets each person to reveal themselves.
Edna	Any age, 16 and up - Maid of the Birling Household (few lines, perfect if you want a start in theatre and to be a part of a classic tale).
Sheila Birling	(no further audition time available for this role)
