An Inspector Calls

This collection of four plays by J.B. Priestley, including the renowned 'An Inspector Calls', offers teachers and students a compelling exploration of social responsibility, justice, and morality. Ideal for GCSE English courses, these plays encourage critical thinking and lively classroom discussion around key themes relevant to the curriculum.

Who killed Eva Smith? Was it you? Without meaning to? What you do. What you don’t do. It all matters… The wealthy Birling family are sitting down at dinner when a policeman knocks at the door. He wants to question them about the suicide of Eva Smith: a penniless working-class girl. Naturally, the Birlings are outraged. Her death has nothing to do with them, surely? But the inspector thinks otherwise. That’s An Inspector Calls: a truly disturbing look at poverty and guilt that will make you reconsider every tiny action.
