Time and the Conways

by J B Priestley

performed by BTG October 1953

A Play

Mrs Conway takes life cheerfully: she and her daughters enjoy entertaining and, although in 1919 war's shadow still lingers, the Conways look forward optimistically. Act II is the same room in 1937 and all the happy homes of 1919 are more or less in ruin. The married girls are miserable, those left spinsters are disillusioned and bitter. Act III returns to 1919 where Mrs Conway and the girls cheerfully look forward to a happy future.
