Description
Book SynopsisThe 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
