An Inspector Calls is a popular GCSE set text, studied by the vast majority of UK students. It is often described as a modern morality play. What exactly does this mean?

How does An Inspector Calls concern itself with morality?

Who is moral, who immoral?

And - the particular focus of this masterclass - how might study of medieval morality plays inform our knowledge and understanding of Priestley's play?

In this interactive, discussion based two-hour workshop, you will be introduced to the inspiring medieval play Everyman and have the chance to explore the morality - or lack of - of An Inspector Calls.
