THE LONG MIRROR is the second play in a collection of three plays in Plays Three by J.B. Priestley. All three plays, in different ways, all deal with 'Time'. The Long Mirror is amazing. It is a fascinating three act play, set in one room, with five characters. This play is one weird clairvoyant manage a' trois.

^ Sounds amazing Greg. I think my J.B. Priestley journey is on temporary hold whilst I intermittently work through 'Dance To The Music Of Time'. I'll be back though.
It is an amazing play, Nigeyb. Very unusual story. Priestley had an incredible imagination. Keep in mind a play doesn't take long to read-through, so you could read one while also reading a novel, which is what I do. I am writing a brief outline and explanation of a Maugham play at the moment that I read some weeks ago. It's a hilarious farce called Home And Beauty.
I don't think spoilers are relevant with regard to Plays, yes?
I am also on the 'Dance To The Music Of Time' journey
All good points Greg.I must see what my local library has got by way of Priestly plays.
I've only ever read one play and that was Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, which I enjoyed very much.
