Arthur Birling, a prosperous manufacturer, is holding a family dinner party to celebrate his daughter's engagement.

Under interrogation, every member of the family turns out to have a shameful secret which links them with her death.

'In-spectre Ghoul' !!!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2017

Verified Purchase

A great tool for using with my GCSE class who are studying this at the moment. However, although the desctiption calls is an 'unabridged' version of the play, it does miss out some sizeable chunks and some of the characters' lines are in a different order, so it doesn't follow the script faithfully. However it is one of the the best versions I have come across. I just wish there was a version that was totally true to the original script for the benefit of students.

An Inspector Calls - Plays for 14 - 16+

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 November 2019

Verified Purchase

Amazon keep asking for a review, and it's difficult for what is basically a school text book. Best thing to do would be to give my 15 years old's response to receiving this. "Oh wicked. Can't wait to read this, it's looks brilliant. It's just what I've always wanted, thank you soo much" A hint of Sarcasm maybe? However, practically, contains a synopsis as well as copious notes after the play, so will be very useful I'm sure.

A Lovely, Captivating Play

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 April 2017

Verified Purchase

A very good quality book, especially for those studying it at GCSE. Hardcover and so is durable which is required for study and the pages are thick as well so highlighter pens don't bleed through! It includes information at the beginning about J.B Priestley and the back contains student information and questions to help analyse the playbook. Everything is laid out simply so you can easily read through the dialogue speech.
For those not studying it and simply purchasing it for the enjoyment, even reading the playbook is captivating enough. You're instantly hooked on all the characters attitudes and their effects on the play, Priestley manages to get his effective message across of being responsible of those around you and teaches a valuable life lesson.
Compared to the other options of the book out there, this edition is by far the best one. Arrived promptly and in good condition.

Bought for GCSE and my 14 year old! Has a really good introduction and biography about the author as well as breaking down the characters in detail to help support with revision and course work - a good copy if your child is currently working on this for his mocks or full exams.

It is a book with printed words and it works as expected

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2019

Verified Purchase

Acquired this for my daughter's drama course.

It is a paperback and the The letters are legible. Not sure what else you can ask from a printed book.
The content is a subjective issue, so no comment on that one - I am not reading it

Price jumped up by £3 day after the school sent out a link

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2022

Book it's self is fine in new condition and smaller than expected. I had this in my basket as I knew I'd need buy one in the next few week, soon as the school sent a link to this book out to all perents the price increased by £3! Really shady considering everyone is struggling right now.

Timeless play

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 January 2019

Verified Purchase

Bought this book for GCSE and I'm surprised myself about how enjoyable the book is. The printing of the book gets a bit splotchy on some pages but it's nothing noticeable unless you look closely. There is an alright amount of space to annotate around it, although a bit more would be better, and highlighter only shows slightly on the other side of the page. Arrives in a few days in good condition.
