An Inspector Calls Smoking statement
There are a few instances of smoking during this production of An Inspector Calls. The first, comes from the text where Mr Birling and Gerald play a status game with a cigar vs cigarette as part of the after dinner activities typical from this period. In addition, Gerald smokes at a later point of the production, again as a way of playing status and his smoking is ridiculed by the production and the audience as we see him churlishly throw his cigarette in a puddle whilst being interrogated. Additionally, to the above, this iconic production uses references to film noir with smoking being a part of the picture created.
