This fall, The Sherman Playhouse will present the classic mystery-drama, AN INSPECTOR CALLS, by J.B. Priestly.
AN INSPECTOR CALLS takes place in 1912 in an English industrial city, where a young girl commits suicide and an eminently respectable British family is subject to a routine inquiry in connection with the death. An inspector calls to interrogate the family, and during the course of his questioning, all members of the group are implicated lightly or deeply in the girl's undoing. The family, closely knit and friendly at the beginning of the evening, is shown up quite differently by the night's end in the play's strange and mysterious conclusion.
The production features some of the region's finest actors: David Fejes (New Fairfield), Quinn Uniacke (Sherman), Ben Grinberg (New Preston), Katherine Almquist (Sharon), Heather Mock (Danbury), and Robin Frome and Alex Echeverria (both New Milford).
AN INSPECTOR CALLS is under the direction of Laura Gilbert of New Milford.
