'Much like Mr. Miller, Quentin is a witness to alarming public and
personal catastrophes: the stock market crash, the Holocaust, the
McCarthy witchhunts and the self-destruction of a show business
idol to whom he is married.' NEW YORK TIMES Haunted by past
romantic failures, Quentin, a New York City Jewish intellectual,
retreats into his mind as he debates marrying for a third time: as
he revisits past loves and losses, his mind and memory fragments
under philosophical questions; are our failures really just our
own? Or is possible to hide away from the mistakes of the past? One
of Miller's most personal plays, After the Fall takes place almost
entirely inside the mind of the play's protagonist, who is often
read as a stand-in for the playwright himself. Touching on themes
of the Holocaust, McCarthyism and inherited sin, the play is one of
the most discussed within Miller's canon. This Methuen Drama
Student Edition is edited by Ramon Espejo-Romero, with commentary
and notes that explore the play's production history (including
excerpts from an interview with Michael Blakemore, former Associate
Director of the Royal National Theatre,) as well as the dramatic,
thematic and academic debates that surround it.
