"The greatest American dramatist of our age." (Evening Standard) In
this collected works, five of Arthur Miller's most-produced and
popular plays are brought together in a new edition, alongside an
exclusive introduction by Ivo van Hove, the celebrated contemporary
director of Miller's works. All five plays were written by Miller
within a ten-year period which began with his first Broadway hit,
All My Sons, in 1947 which led Brooks Atkinson of the New York
Times to state that 'theatre has acquired a genuine new talent.'
This was followed in 1949 by his exploration of the American Dream
in Death of a Salesman, which went on to win the Tony Award for
Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The Crucible followed
in 1953, produced during the McCarthy era and becoming a parable of
the witch-hunting practices of a government determined to root-out
Communists. A View from the Bridge, originally performed in 1955,
concerns the lives of longshoremen in the Brooklyn waterfront and
has remained one of Miller's most produced plays. Originally
presented as a one-act companion piece to A Memory of Two Mondays,
both plays explore the dreams and working lives of ordinary
Americans in the early decades of the 20th century. Freshly edited
and featuring a bold new design, this updated edition of Arthur
Miller Plays 1 is a must-have for theatre fans and students alike.
