{"product_id":"arthur-miller-plays-1-arthur-miller-9781350277519","title":"Arthur Miller Plays 1","description":"\"The greatest American dramatist of our age.\" (Evening Standard)\nIn 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.\nAll 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.\nThe 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 in the Brooklyn waterfront and has remained one of Miller's most produced plays. Originally presented as a one-act companion piece to A Memory of Two Mondays, both plays explore the dreams and working lives of ordinary Americans in the early decades of the 20th century.\nFreshly edited and featuring a bold new design, this updated edition of Arthur Miller Plays 1 is a must-have for theatre fans and students alike.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50496658112800,"sku":"9781350277519","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781350277519.jpg?v=1780864693","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/arthur-miller-plays-1-arthur-miller-9781350277519","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
