'When the play focuses on the self-entrapment of the characters,
Mr. Miller can be tender as well as trenchant' NEW YORK TIMES Two
strangers meet in a New England psychiatric clinic, each visiting
their admitted, depressed wife: one is a humble carpenter with
seven children, the other a successful businessman in a childless
marriage; both have been forgotten by the promise of the American
Dream. Described by Miller as 'a comedy about a tragedy', this
one-act play highlights the devastating consequences for those who
fail to achieve the purported riches of the American Dream; a
reality many face. This Methuen Drama Student Edition is edited by
Ciaran Leinster, with commentary and notes that explore the play's
production history (including excerpts from an interview with
director David Thacker) as well as the dramatic, thematic and
academic debates that surround it.
