I need you to tell me whether the conclusion of this play involves time travel or not. I
claim it does. But regardless of that, it’s worth reading Priestley’s first play, which
follows the dire consequences of a chance remark at the start of Act I. The play was also
filmed as a 1934 screenplay and later as a Yorkshire Television Production.
For the last few seconds the light has been fading, now it is completely dark. There is a
revolver shot, a woman’s scream, a moment’s silence, then the sound of a woman
sobbing, exactly as at the beginning of Act I.
