Synopsis
An Inspector Calls and Other Plays - An Inspector Calls & Time and the Conways & I Have Been Here Before & The Linden Tree
Published by Penguin
While holding its audience with the gripping tension of a detective thriller, it is also a philosophical play about social conscience and the crumbling of middle class values
Time and the Conways and I Have Been Here Before belong to Priestley's 'time'plays, in which he explores the idea of precognition and pits fate against free will
The Linden Tree also challenges preconceived ideas of history when Professor Linden comes into conflict with his family about how life should be lived after the war
