Advantages: Good Play

Disadvantages: none

While studying GCSE English I was subjected to many hours reading and analysing literature, normally some of the most boring books ever written, however this play was an exception and I actually quite enjoyed studying it.

As with all plays, it is made to be performed and as such it would be much better to see the play, either being performed at a theatre or by watching the film that has been made.

The play is set at the turn of the century, and is centered around a wealthy family who are successful and prosperous in a time of poverty for many. They are oblivious to this, and given the fact that the play was written many years later the play contains much irony about the future, but not only makes us question our history but also our future, are we making the same mistakes over again?? In the case of the family the play continues this theme, they start off as a respectable upper class family, but one by one their darkest secrets are revealed by a mysterious inspector and each of their lives are ripped apart. But then it appears that the inspector is not who he seems, or was he?? More like what was he?? To understand this, and more then go and see this play.

Rather than the usual boring old play with hard to understand language this is modern and deals with some serious issues.
