More on An Inspector Calls
Description from Wikipedia:
An Inspector Calls is a play written by English dramatist J. B. Priestley. It received its premiere at the Kamerny Theatre, Moscow, in 1945, directed by Alexander Tairov. The West End debut was at London's New Theatre on 1 October 1946, starring Ralph Richardson as Inspector Goole. The play is a parable, in the form of a police investigation into the death of a young girl, Eva Smith, on the potential confrontation between an excess of selfish individualism on the one hand and social responsibility on the other.
