Novelization of a 1932 play, written by Priestley, and performed
with great success in London, and only moderate success over here.
A sophisticated psychological melodrama, playing dangerously with
the theme of releasing truth into a group where reticences are
synonomous with civilization. Interesting, challenging,
provocative, but distinctly limited in market appeal. Not to be
sold to the conventional Priestley audience as "another Priestley".
(Kirkus Reviews)
Robert Caplan and his wife are entertaining her brother and
sister-in-law. Because Robert insists on uncovering the truth about
his brother Martin's 'suicide', many unpalatable revelations ensue
which cause Robert to shoot himself. At this point, the opening
scene is repeated, but this time they bypass the dangerous corner
at which the truth is demanded, thus averting the disaster. Written
in 1932 this forms one of the three 'time plays'.
