Revision as of 15:23, 1 December 2002 by Deb (talk | contribs) (mentioning film version)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)An Inspector Calls is a popular drama of 1946, by the British dramatist J.B. Priestley. The play is often studied as part of the school syllabus, and is still frequently performed.
The plot deals centres on the visit made, by a mysterious police inspector, to a wealthy and apparently respectable family, for the purposes of enquiring into the death of a poor and unknown girl. The inspector reminds each family member in turn of his or her connection with the girl, leading each of them to suppose that their unintentional cruelty or thoughtlessness has brought about the girl's death.
The 1954 British film version of the play starred Alastair Sim as the Inspector.
