Act One

From the text:

EDNA, the parlourmaid

Arthur Birling is a heavy-looking, rather portentous man in this middle fifties with fairly easy manners but rather provincial in this speech.

Mrs Birling: His wife is about fifty, a rather cold woman and her husband's social superior.

Sheila is a pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased with life and rather excited.

Gerald Croft is a attractive chap about thirty, rather too manly to be a dandy but very much the well-bred young man-about-town.

Eric is in his early twenties, not quite at ease, half shy, half assertive.
