Performance and production notes (for a viewing or lesson)

• Pay attention to staging choices: lighting, staging, and camera angles in BBC adaptations often emphasize claustrophobia and moral scrutiny.
• Actor portrayals: the Inspector can be played as eerily calm, overtly moralizing, or ambiguous—each choice shifts interpretation.
• Period vs contemporary setting: many BBC versions keep early 20th-century setting to preserve historical critique; some productions modernize certain elements.
• Sound design and music underscore mood and can hint at the Inspector’s otherworldliness.
