Clague Playhouse presents 'An Inspector Calls'

The Inspector's (Dale Hruska, center) arrival sparks a confrontation between Mr. Birling (Lou Will, left) and his son Eric (Bryan Heard) in Clague Playhouse's production of "An Inspector Calls."

Clague Playhouse will present J.B. Priestley’s classic mystery "An Inspector Calls" as the first production of its 86th season.

The play is set in the home of a prosperous family in an English mill town in 1912. The Birlings and their prospective son-in-law react coolly to the news that a young village woman has killed herself. But was Eva’s death really a suicide, and are the family members as law-abiding and moral as they appear? With a police inspector inquiring into each person’s past, it is only a matter of time before the exposure of the guilty party – or parties.

"An Inspector Calls" is directed by Ron Newell. The cast includes Dale Hruska, Lou Will, Rebecca Knab, Monica Zach, Bryan Heard, Eric Lucas and Richie Lynch.

The production opened Sept. 12 and runs through Oct. 5 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $16 for adults, $15 for seniors (60+), and $10 for students (with valid ID) and may be purchased by calling the box office at 440-331-0403 Wednesday through Saturday from 1–6 p.m.

Clague Playhouse is located at 1371 Clague Road in Westlake.
