Overview
<p><b>"The greatest American dramatist of our age" - <i>Evening Standard</i></b><br> <br> 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.<br> <br> One of Miller's most personal plays, <i>After the Fall</i> (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<i>.</i> This was followed by Miller's largely forgotten masterpiece, <i>Incident at Vichy</i> (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.<br> <br> <i>The Price</i> followed in 1968, a touching and farcical presentation of American life beyond the Vietnam War and Great Depression, which earned Miller a Tony Award nomination for Best Play. In The <i>Creation of the World and Other Business</i> (1972), Miller offers a comedic retelling of the Book of Genesis, constructing a parable around the theme of good-versus-evil. Also included are two of the playwright's most beloved screenplays: <i>The Misfits</i>, written for and filmed with Marilyn Monroe, and <i>Playing for Time</i>, televised with Vanessa Redgrave.<br> <br> Freshly edited and featuring a bold new design, this updated edition of <i>Arthur Miller Plays 2</i> is a must-have for theatre fans and students alike.</p>
