- Abstract / Summary
- The Birling family are rich, pampered and complacent. It is 1912, and the shadow of the impending war has yet to fall across their lives. As they sit down to dinner one night, celebrating the engagement of the eldest child, Sheila, to prosperous business man Gerald, a knock at the door announces the arrival of a visitor who will change their lives forever. Based on the classic stage play by J.B. Priestley, An Inspector Calls stars the incomparable Alastair Sim.
