The Inspector Calls, playing through October at the Shaw Festival (Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario) is an ingenious design classic mystery, full of twists and turns convenience, a safe bet for evening entertainment. (I plague the ideological content of this room, in a separate article.) Presentation Shaw Festival is more than competent, but we were disappointed.
It is a pleasure, year after year, to see Benedict Campbell at the Shaw Festival. What outstanding, versatile actor! Six years ago, was brilliant as a faithful disciple of Lear, the Earl of Kent in the Stratford Festival (playing with Christopher Plummer as Lear). Since, fortunately, was in the Shaw, where, two years ago, I was really moved by her poignant interpretation Kelli Fox and the complex relationship between John and Elizabeth Proctor in The Crucible. The year past, we were surprised to see him sing and dance in Mack and Mabel, which, with energy and alone, he set the tone for the fabulous production of Shaw.
This year, Campbell is the Inspector in JB Priestley's Thriller, and Heft is the strong presence and authority that the role requires. It is, in fact, so convincing as a detective British police that many in our audience seemed to have difficulty accepting the possibility that it might be something else. As this, Priestley gives many signs of view, starting with the inspector's name, Goole. Even so, I think many left the Festival Theater perplexed about exactly what had happened to Birling family.
Integer An Inspector Calls features a large platform that rotates 180 degrees imperceptibly in the course of the play, actors and moving objects with him. (A friend told us that in a later trial, the platform collapsed under the weight of the actors and had to be reinforced.) Son seems to be asking the audience that since the new revelations about the Birling makes the characters see their lives differently, so that the public should see it from different perspectives. (As noted in my previous post, Priestley's objective in this game is so much to indoctrinate as it is entertaining.)
And, indeed, alarming revelations about the meetings between the poor Eva Smith and other members of the Birling family kept coming, keep the audience during intermission buzz than I thought would be the next twist in the plot.
Ultimately, however, the pleasure of "doing" is missing from this thriller. In the mean time in the last act, when it should have chills up and down our spines came and went without chills. Never made sense of a mysterious light flight at random along the edges of the whole. A female figure (not has lines) slightly appeared on stage between scene changes for no apparent reason. As Arthur Birling and Sandra, two of our favorite actors, Peter Hutt and Mary Haney, were not allowed to show his dramatic range and left us flat.
Shaw Festival Art Director, Jackie Maxwell, now overseeing its sixth season, seems to follow the practice of his predecessor, Christopher Newton, in allocating at least one slot in a season to show something in the mystery / thriller, works theater like Laura, Sorry Wrong Number, and adaptations of Agatha Christie. Here, I remember worse than our experience at the Shaw Festival is a slot game, 2006 the disastrous The Invisible Man. The sets and costumes were superb, the special effects superb, and the highest quality. But what mediocre material, the band had to work with! What suspense the game, in which the invisible parts of Griffin's body were revealed during the opening scene was almost as exciting as a slasher, where teens begin to get an ax in the first five minutes. Nothing builds nothing, and the Invisible Man himself was a Johnny-one-note whine. We never know all the characters well enough to worry about them, and the playwright does not introduce two important characters, Dr. Kemp and his wife, until the game was essentially finished. This year, An Inspector Calls is best.
