“Public men, Mr. Birling, have responsibilities as well as privileges.” The Inspector
___________________________________________________________________________________TORONTO, ON… Though ostensibly a remarkably clear and effective drama, an air of mystic unreality underlies An Inspector Calls. When a young girl commits suicide in an English industrial city, an eminently respectable British family is subjected to a routine inquiry in connection with the death. An inspector calls to interrogate them. To some degree, all are implicated, but what was a friendly, close-knit family at the beginning of the evening is revealed as selfish, self-centred, and cowardly before the night is over. And who was the "inspector"? Why was no suicide reported to the police? How did he know?

Joining director/designer L. Garth Allen are repertory company members Frank Keenan as Arthur Billings, Judy Gans as Sybil Birling, Robert Glen as Gerald Croft, Jill Frazer as Sheila Birling, Brad Emes as Eric Birling, Varda Shomrony as Edna, Roger Kell as Inspector Goole.

Stage Centre Productions, under the founding artistic leadership of L. Garth Allen, is a 60-person strong repertory company of Toronto area artists committed to presenting the classics from the world theatre canon.
