This classic ‘drawing-room theatre’ play is a three-act drama that takes place on a single night in 1912,[3] focusing on a capitalist class Birling family. A police inspector visits the family and starts questioning each family member about the suicide of a young working-class woman in her mid-twenties.
The narrative presents a vehement criticism of the hypocrisies of bourgeois society in Victorian England. The nature of the content is predominantly socialist, humanist and philanthropic, thus establishing Priestley’s deeply Modernist and progressive way of thinking.
