Theatre: An Inspector Calls
By Culture Writer Emma Hislop
This February, Swansea’s own award winning, amateur drama group, Swansea Little, will be performing the much loved play An Inspector Calls.
An Inspector calls is a moral murder mystery written by J.B Priestly. Novelist, dramatist and broadcaster, Priestly was born in 1894 and died in 1984. The play is considered to be his most recognised piece of work with it first being performed in the Soviet Union and has been a success in theatres worldwide ever since. The plot is split up into three sections opening with the Birling Family celebration of the engagement of Shelia Birling to Gerald Croft. J.B Priestly makes his exploration of moral attitudes apparent with his characterisation of Eric Birling, who uses the celebrations to endorse his drinking problem while the rest of the family turn a blind eye.
The moral implications of the attitudes of the conventional upper class Edwardian family are explored and challenged further with the entrance of Inspector Goole who reveals that a pretty young girl has been found dead by suicide. The wealthy Edwardian middle class family deny any involvement with the death, but, throughout the course of the evening, the Inspector attempts to expose how every member of the nights celebrations are implicated in Eva Smiths death. Through this interruption of the established character hierarchy, the Inspector gradually reveals a dark mystery surrounding the play that audiences will find both endearing and chilling. The play focuses around one central theme: “If men will not learn that lesson, then they will be taught it in blood and fire and anguish.”
The performance is the latest of fantastic productions from Swansea Little Theatre company, a registered charity with a membership of over 150 actors and technicians. The company have a dedicated team of volunteers who give up their time to run The Dylan Thomas Theatre, a beautiful little theatre on the waterfront, established in 1924. It is Swansea’s only waterside theatre venue at the heart of the Maritime Cultural Quarter. Dylan Thomas being a member/actor in the 1930’s, the drama group is a testament to the strong community people have always related to the characteristics of Swansea. In an ever developing city, it is refreshing to know that there are still people willing to volunteer and take part in our classic Welsh tradition of working together to build great communities.
The theatre has recently been refurbished, following the award of a substantial Arts Council of Wales grant, and welcomes all dance societies, community groups and visitors. To find out more about Swansea Little and about becoming a member, check out their website www.swansealittletheatre.org.uk.
Their performance of An Inspector Calls will be showing from Thursday 16th - Saturday 19th February at 7.30pm, tickets are priced at £8.50.
