"When I was young there was no respect for the young, and now that I am old there is no respect for the old. I missed out coming and going"

- J.B. Priestley

A torrential downpour forces Philip and Margaret Waverton and their friend Roger Penderel to seek shelter in an ancient, crumbling mansion inhabited by the strange and sinister Femm family. Determined to make the best of the circumstances, the benighted travellers drink and talk to pass the time while the storm rages outside. But as the night progresses and tensions rise, dangerous and unexpected secrets emerge. On the house’s top floor are two locked doors: behind one of them is the mysterious, unseen Sir Roderick Femm, while the other conceals something terrifying and deadly ... Benighted (1927), a classic ‘old dark house’ story of psychological terror, was the second novel by one of the most prolific and beloved British authors of the 20th century, J.B. Priestley (1894-1984). This edition includes an introduction by Orrin Grey, who discusses the connections between the novel and its film adaptation, James Whale’s The Old Dark House (1932).

What is a cratylic name? A cratylic name is a name given to a character to express a trait they may have. Priestly uses this concept when creating two characters: ‘Eva Smith’ and ‘Daisy Renton.’ When analysing the proper noun ‘Eva Smith’, the audience understand that the surname ‘Smith’ was the common name within the lower classes- especially in women; making Eva the symbol for the lower classes. The members of the audience will see Eva Smith’s throughout the play: in the prostitutes at the Palace Bar Theatre, in the women working for Mr Birling and in the the young women who were unjustly fired. Ultimately, this explains the consequences of the actions and objectifying behaviour of the bourgeoisie. To add to this, the name ‘Eva Smith’ also has a biblical reference. The name ‘Eva’ reminds us of the name ‘Eve’. In the Book of Genesis, when Adam and Eve are questioned by God for eating the forbidden fruit, Adam pointed the finger at Eve, indicating that he held her responsible. This is relevant because throughout the play, Eva is blamed by the chauvinistic males who constantly blamed her for their own faults. Furthermore, the pseudonym ‘Daisy Renton’ also has a negative meaning. The name ‘Daisy’ has connotations of purity and death yet it also insinuates the death of innocence. In addition tho this, the last name ‘Renton’ sounds like ‘rent’, which sounds like something being torn, linking to the idea of The lower classes being taken advantage by the middle and upper classes.

Almanach barrien : "Le XIXe siècle connaissait Barrie en tant que romancier, tandis que le XXe le considérait sous l'aspect du dramaturge : c'est ainsi qu'il était suspendu dans les airs entre l'art romanesque et l'art théâtral ; et les critiques qui ont chacun leur spécialité (et les deux formes du roman et de la pièce de théâtre ne se chevauchent pas) étaient enclins à laisser à leur collègue l'autre forme."

Time, space, continuum

Our lives, no matter how long their time spans, are all just one continuous moment. If this premise had been posited before the party that is the first scene of Time and the Conways, at Roundabout’s American Airlines Theatre through November 26th, how much more endurable the charades would have been! Time and the Conways rattles on,…

Delight by J.B. Priestley

As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been indulging in some polyreading – and this is the reason why! “Delight” is a book I picked up on a whim a little while back; I’d read Simon’s review of it, and thought it sounded perfect. I love Priestley’s rather grumpy writing persona (which I explored in a wonderful collection of his essaysfrom Notting Hill Editions), although…
