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 the 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.
This event is part of our Masterclasses series and is open to students in Years 10 and 11.
