An Inspector Calls
An Inspector Calls is J. B. Priestley's three-act play: a girl dies, an inspector knocks on the Birling family's door, and an engagement dinner is questioned into a chain of consequences nobody wants to claim. We staged it as a classroom play and filmed it — 8 minutes 15 seconds, opening with the narration 'Our story unfolds on a silent cold night of the year' and closing on the cast credits.
