Time and the Conways

A Second Thoughts Drama Group Production

This amateur production of Time and the Conways is arranged by special arrangement with Samuel French

One of Britain’s leading writers of the inter-war years, J B Priestley was fascinated by the concept of time. As the play opens, and in Act 3, it is 1919 – just after the end of World War I. The Conways, a wealthy northern family have gathered to celebrate a birthday party, and their wonderful futures in a country at peace.

The middle act is set eighteen years later, on the brink of WWII, and we see that their future is far from the happy one they envisaged. Relationships have failed and expectations disappointed.

From the writer of An Inspector Calls, the play takes a look at class arrogance, complacency and family tensions.   Beneath the surface of this simple family story, Priestley explores the political and social history of Britain between the wars, and the nature of time itself.
