That ending! I still remember how thrilled I was to write about this in my GSCE exam. I could waffle on about this for ages (which was good then as it got my word count up hehe) Searching desperately for a fall play to direct, I was handed this brilliant bit of writing, and fell hard and fast. a man in his fifties, dressed in a plain darkish suit of the period.

The play takes place on a single night in 1912, slightly before the First World War, and focuses on the prosperous middle-class Birling family, who live in a comfortable home in Brumley, "an industrial city in the north Midlands". There are three acts, all of which are clearly marked with directions for the set and staging, which J.B. Priestley felt could be contained within one set, with differently lighted areas. Interestingly, he states, J.B.Priestley's fine plays, written & produced for the theatres of the English-speaking world, either side of the Second World War, reflected the parlous state of mind that he found in many of his family, friends & professional acquaintances, partly the effect of the horrific Great War with its disturbing, emotional & social aftermath. The domestic settings of many of his best plays are banal & middle-class, but Priestley had a wonderful talent for angry dialogues that delved deeply into smug assumptions about the class-conscious world of England in those years of economic purgatory & political confusion. The narrative of the play delves around a mysterious Inspector who interrupts the celebration of a respectable British family. It turns out he's arrived to question the family about a girl who just committed suicide and has reason to believe certain family members may know why she did so. What happens next is unbelievably clever and at the same time highly improbable. Yet the point of the play is revealed to be a masterpiece in causing the audience to reflect upon how their interactions with fellow humans could have serious repercussions.
