We don t live alone ... We are responsible for each other
A policeman interrupts a rich family s dinner to question them about the suicide of a young working-class girl. As their guilty secrets are gradually revealed over the course of the evening, An Inspector Calls , J. B. Priestley s most famous play, shows us the terrible consequences of poverty and inequality. The other powerful plays in this collection - Time and the Conways , I Have Been Here Before and The Linden Tree - explore time, fate, free will and the effects of war.
A vastly talented and exceptionally versatile and wise writer Iris Murdoch
Priestley was volcanic, fertile ... and never dull Anthony Burgess
