An Inspector Calls is a classic play of the mid-20th century English theatre written by J.B. Priestley. Over the course of an evening, the mysterious Inspector Goole interrogates the wealthy Birling family about their responsibility for the death of a young working class factory girl. When it was originally staged in the 1940s, it was considered a critique of the hypocrisies of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
