Gripping

A play, in which we are left to examine with the Inspector who killed a young girl. Great suspense is built.

Hannah Mulligan Ward at Woking

“often read for GCSE english but should be read by everyone”

A wonderfully short play with the best use of metaphors to criticise an unjust society. Highly recommend analysing instead of just reading.

Synopsis

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.

Average

While not a bad read, the play is so devoted to delivering the message, that it almost eroded the story itself. I feel the story itself is rushed, and is t... READ MORE

Clever

The ending gives many possibilities and the play introduces responsibility to a group of over privileged and pretentious characters. A great read for GCSE

Erm

Wild ride of events. Even though I read it as part of my GCSEs, I still found it enjoyable and at best fun to read and perform.
