This 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 \u003cem\u003eDeath of a Salesman\u003c\/em\u003e, which went on to win the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Crucible\u003c\/em\u003e 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. \u003cem\u003eA View from the Bridge\u003c\/em\u003e, 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 \u003cem\u003eA Memory of Two Mondays\u003c\/em\u003e, both plays explore the dreams and working lives of ordinary Americans in the early decades of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFreshly edited and featuring a bold new design, this updated edition of \u003cem\u003eArthur Miller Plays 1\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-have for theatre fans and students alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460225024236,"sku":"9781350277519","price":45.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350277519-arthur-miller-plays-1.jpg?v=1774945876","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/arthur-miller-plays-1-by-arthur-miller-9781350277519","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
