Description
Book SynopsisThe greatest American dramatist of our age - Evening Standard In this second volume of collected works, four of Arthur Miller's stage plays from the sixties and seventies are brought together in a new edition. Taking up the theme of individual responsibility from his earlier work, this volume also contains an introduction from Miller himself, along with two of his screenplays. One of Miller's most personal plays,
After the Fall (1964) takes place almost entirely inside the mind of the play''s protagonist, who is often read as a stand-in for the playwright himself, and touches on themes of the Holocaust, McCarthyism and inherited sin
. This was followed by Miller''s largely forgotten masterpiece,
Incident at Vichy (1964): a prescient examination of the evil that exists in us all, inspired by a real-life incident in France in which a Gentile gave a Jew his identity pass during a check.
The Price followed in 1968, a touching and farcical present
