A family celebration takes an unsettling turn when a stranger arrives with questions nobody wants to answer. As Inspector Goole investigates a young woman's death, the Birlings discover how closely their comfortable lives are connected to her story.
J B Priestley's drama combines a mystery with uncomfortable questions about privilege, responsibility and the consequences of everyday decisions. Each revelation gives the audience another reason to reconsider what they think they know.
This staging brings together Stephen Daldry's direction, Ian MacNeil's design, Rick Fisher's lighting and Stephen Warbeck's music. Whether you remember the play from school or are discovering it for the first time, seeing the investigation unfold on stage offers a different way into its moral dilemmas.
The show runs at Blackpool Grand Theatre from 9–13 November 2027. Recommended for ages 11+, it lasts approximately 1 hour 45 minutes without an interval. Tickets start at £18, excluding any collection or delivery fees. Check the theatre's booking page for performance times and availability.
There are plenty of restaurants within a few minutes’ walk. Aim to sit down at least 90 minutes before curtain up, and book ahead on Saturdays and during the Illuminations, when the town gets busy.
