(P/B) PLAYS 4

Παρουσίαση

The fourth volume of Miller's plays reissued to coincide with the publication of the sixth and final volume of his plays in the Methuen Drama World Classics series. The volume features an introduction by the author and a chronology of his work.
Arthur Miller's two early plays, "The Golden Years", a historical tragedy about Montezuma's destruction at the hands of Cortez, and "The Man Who Had All the Luck", a fable about human freedom and individual responsibility, are brought together in this volume. It also features two of his contemporary shorter plays, "I Can't Remember Anything" and "Clara", first presented on a double bill as "Danger! Memory". The latter focus on the importance and dangers of remembering the past, while the early plays, written at the time of the Second World War, mark the emergence of a drama in which public issues are rooted in private anxieties and chart the beginning of Miller's career that was one of the most distinguished in dramatic history.
