Arthur Miller Plays 2

"The greatest American dramatist of our age" - Evening Standard This second volume of Arthur Miller's plays contains four stage plays from the sixties and seventies, taking up the theme of individual responsibility from his earlier work, along with two screenplays. After the Fall (1964): A drama that takes place in the mind and thoughts of its protagonist, where memories are overshadowed by the Holocaust. Incident at Vichy (1964): "A short but intense drama of Occupied France... a kind of suspense thriller with moral overtones, continuously absorbing" - New York Post. The Price (1968): "A beautifully intelligent play about two brothers who are pinned in positions of flight from their own histories that are as fruitless as the movements of the men at Pompeii... For Miller, heroism lies on the scale of a man's sense of the possibility of controlling his own life" - Observer. The Creation of the World and Other Business (1972): A parable that explores the theme of good-versus-evil by way of a comedic retelling of events in the Book of Genesis in the Bible. Also included are two of his screenplays: The Misfits, written for and filmed with Marilyn Monroe, and Playing for Time, televised with Vanessa Redgrave. The volume is introduced by the author.
