Dangerous Corner

Dangerous Corner by J.B. Priestley

A group of posh Brits sequestered together in a cozy, country retreat - lies, betrayals and dramatic disclosures abound!

In this play of psychological intrigue, Freda and Robert Caplan host a dinner party for their young, beautiful and successful colleagues and friends - all executives at a transatlantic publishing company. The members of this gathering truly have the world at their feet! Then a musical cigarette box and an ill-considered remark spark a relentless series of revelations, and other, more dangerous secrets are painfully exposed. Was it better not to pry into matters that should be left alone? As the truth spills out about the suicide of Robert's clever, reckless brother Martin, and the group's perfect lives begin to crumble, the steep cost of professional and social success becomes frighteningly plain.

"Time, history and memory all intertwined with desire, repulsion, deception and hypocrisy quickly surface as features within Priestley's play define his characters' relationships, their actions and their world...." - New York Times
