An Inspector Calls

An Inspector Calls

★★★★☆ Searching

Stephen Daldry’s extraordinary production of JB Priestley’s classic play, An Inspector Calls, originally created for the English National Theatre, returns to Edinburgh this week and is no less powerful for being staged in the cavernous Festival Theatre.

An Inspector Calls

An Inspector Calls

★★★★☆    Worryingly compelling:

The revival of a much-garlanded take on J.B. Priestley’s An Inspector Calls at the King’s is wonderfully staged, relevant and more than a little troubling.

Hedda Gabler

Hedda Gabler

★★★★☆  Modern:

Stark and tense, Ivo van Hove’s production of Hedda Gabler for the English National Theatre and touring to the Festival Theatre all week, is a thoroughly unnerving reading of Ibsen’s great play.

The Importance of Being Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest

★★☆☆☆ Unconvincing:
There is a confused and apologetic air to the touring production of The Importance of Being Earnest at the King’s that the efforts of some distinguished performers cannot overcome.
