One of the classics of mid-20th century English theatre, Priestley's daring play takes place in an English industrial city, where an eminently respectable British family is subject to a routine inquiry in connection with the suicide of a young girl. An inspector calls on the family to interrogate them, and during the course of his questioning, each of them is implicated in the girl's undoing. Before the evening is over, the formerly friendly and close-knit family members reveal themselves to be selfish, self-centered or cowardly - their good humor turning to acid and their fellowship to disdain.
