Arthur Miller's extraordinary masterpiece, Death of a Salesman changed the course of modern theatre, and has lost none of its power as an examination of American life.
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.
"By common consent, this is one of the finest dramas in the whole
range of the American theater." Brooks Atkinson, "The New York
Times"
"So simple, central, and terrible that the run of playwrights would
neither care nor dare to attempt it." "Time""
