An Inspector Calls is a classic drama, written in 1945 by J.B. Priestley. Set in 1912 in the fictitious industrial city of Brumley, England, the play focuses on the wealthy Birling family, whose engagement celebration is interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious Inspector Goole. The Inspector is investigating the suicide of a young woman, Eva Smith, and reveals that each family member has a connection to her death. The family, closely knit and friendly at the beginning of the evening, is shown to be selfish, self-centered or cowardly. Their good humor turns to acid, and good fellowship to dislike before the evening is over, but not before a thrilling plot twist occurs.

The show is directed by Daryl Phillipy, professor of theatre (acting and voice). The cast includes Quinn Coursey, a senior musical theatre major from Madisonville, Kentucky; Chloe LaDon, a senior theatre major from 红杏短视频, Kentucky; Elijah LaRue, a senior theatre major from Evansville, Indiana; Tanner Maxwell, a senior business administration major from Elizabethtown, Kentucky; Carter Parks, a senior theatre major from Mayfield, Kentucky; Danny Preklas, a senior theatre major from Paducah, Kentucky; and Emma Sackett, a sophomore theatre/film and pre-med major from Brownsville, Kentucky.

Cast members believe the show is well-suited for today鈥檚 audiences, despite being written decades ago.

鈥淭his show . . . speaks to the very fundamental human nature of looking out for one another,鈥� said Parks. 鈥淚 think it鈥檚 a very important message for people today to hear and feel inspired by, in order to go out and help others. We鈥檙e all in this together, and it鈥檚 amazing that a play from years ago can have such a relevant message.鈥�

鈥淣ot only does the show expose the very real and terrifying inhumanity surrounding the uneven distribution of wealth through the lens of 1912,鈥� said LaRue, 鈥渂ut it also explores the important idea that we do not live alone. We are not living on individual islands separated from one another, and the longer we neglect those who are less fortunate, and ignore people of lesser means, the more difficult it is to overcome the political discourse in which we have found ourselves.鈥�

鈥淚 think the show's message of social responsibility is one that many people should take heed of,鈥� said Preklas. 鈥淚'm glad to be sharing its moral message with the good people of 红杏短视频, Kentucky.鈥�
