Play review - "An Inspector Calls" by J.P. Priestley

Gripping mystery drama with a point - maybe it's a bit pat (that we are all responsible for each other) but its worth making and the drama holds because so much of it we know happened and happens: a worker sacked for asking for more money or offending a rich client, a poor girl shunted aside because they're from the wrong class. The mystery structure helps too - at the bottom you're keen to find out exactly what went on - even if the self righteous inspector (the socialist wet dream man) got on my nerves a bit.
