4.0

An enrapturing play that I read on one sitting. The way the Birling family just exudes upper-middle class harmony which just completely collapses by the end was so smoothly conveyed. The small surrealist element regarding how time and the character of the Inspector are treated also adds more to this detective mystery play.
