A simply brilliant play, as fresh and gripping now as when it was first performed. With the theatrical excitement of a detective thriller that holds you in the twists and turns of the moment, it delves beneath the surface to expose unchanging social hypocrisies.
Set in 1912 when the comfortable middle classes were oblivious to the “fire and anguish” that was to come with the first World War, the action begins as an affluent family in the industrial north is celebrating the engagement of the daughter of the house to a young man of wealth and breeding.
Without warning an unexpected visitor arrives in the form of a police inspector. His penetrating questions slowly unravel the story in a series of astonishing revelations. Moreover we are all under suspicion when this inspector calls!
