Includes the plays "All My Sons" and "A View from the Bridge".
Powerful, passionate and frighteningly relevant, the drama of Arthur Miller deals in the hard currency of 'social' realism and tragedy. "All My Sons" (1947), which brought Miller his first major success, is a merciless exposure of wartime profiteering and the capitalist ethic. The ideological conflict of father and son is a compelling one, and points to the way Miller develops his later drama, where social issues are tempered and tautened by the theme of personal disintegration. Eddie, the hero of "A View from the Bridge" (1955), is an illiterate longshoreman. His inexorable progress towards self-discovery and fall stirs the emotions with the same painful intensity as the play jolts the intellect.

American dramatist Arthur Miller was born in New York City in 1915. In 1938 Miller won awards for his comedy THE GRASS STILL GROWS. His major achievement was DEATH OF A SALESMAN, which won the 1949 Pulitzer Prize for drama and the 1949 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award. THE CRUCIBLE was aimed at the widespread congressional investigation of subversive activities in the US; the drama won the 1953 Tony Award. Miller's autobiography, TIMEBENDS: A LIFE was published in 1987.
