Dangerous Corner is a 1932 British play by the English writer J. B. Priestley, the first of his "Time Plays". It was premiered in May 1932 by Tyrone Guthrie at the Lyric Theatre, London, and filmed in 1934 by Phil Rosen. It was staged on Broadway at the Empire Theatre in 1932, and revived in New York in 1933 at the Waldorf Theatre. Priestley had recently collaborated with Edward Knoblock on the 1931 play The Good Companions and now wished "to prove that a man might produce long novels and yet be able to write effectively, using the strictest economy, for the stage." While being praised highly by James Agate, Dangerous Corner received extremely poor reviews and after three days he was told that the play would be taken off, a fate that he averted by buying out the syndicate.
