| Summary: | " Four of a master-craftsman's finest plays...
Time and the conways, a brilliantly successful experiment, shows us the same family in 1919 and 1937; the third and final act returns to the happy family party of 1919... to shed a bitter, ironical light on the youthful hopes of the characters.
I Have Been Here, Before, another time play, is based on a theory of Time and Human Life as a recurring cycle, During a weekend in the Yorkshire dales, Dr Görther, a mysterious refugee, tries to save a rich couple and young schoolmaster from tragic course of action.
The Linden Tree, a Chekhov-like study of family relationships, finds the Lindens divided: Professor Linden at sixty-five could retire but is dedicated to teaching at a run-down provincial university. But his wife and rich son Rex have other ideas..
An Inspector Calls, written inside a week in 1944, has become world-wide one of the most performed of all modern plays. Inspector Goole, investigating a girl's death, calls on the Birlings. Tension builds as he dissects the hidden vices and confusions behind the facade of this outwardly virtuous Edwardian household. " (extraído de la contratapa) |
