Dangerous Corner is a play by J.B. Priestley (1894-1984)[1].
Contents
The original text
Priestley's first solo play, this ingenious murder mystery was written in 1931, opening in May 1932 to poor reviews. However, it has since been produced all over the world. It was also his first experiment with Time, splitting it in two to show what might have happened. In the original London production Flora Robson played Olwyn Peel.
Published in Three time-plays: Dangerous corner ; Time and the Conways ; I have been here before by Pan in 1947.
