An Inspector Calls by J. B. Priestley
Set in 1912, this gripping play unfolds during a seemingly ordinary dinner party at the affluent Birling family home, which is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of a mysterious Inspector Goole. As he interrogates each family member about their connection to a young woman's tragic suicide, hidden secrets and moral failings are revealed, exposing the family's complicity in her demise. The narrative serves as a powerful critique of social responsibility and class inequality, leaving the characters—and the audience—questioning their own ethical obligations.
