Taking up the theme of individual responsibility from his earlier work, this volume also contains an introduction from Miller himself, along with two of his screenplays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of Miller’s most personal plays, \u003cem\u003eAfter the Fall\u003c\/em\u003e (1964) takes place almost entirely inside the mind of the play's protagonist, who is often read as a stand-in for the playwright himself, and touches on themes of the Holocaust, McCarthyism and inherited sin. This was followed by Miller's largely forgotten masterpiece, \u003cem\u003eIncident at Vichy\u003c\/em\u003e (1964): a prescient examination of the evil that exists in us all, inspired by a real-life incident in France in which a Gentile gave a Jew his identity pass during a check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Price\u003c\/em\u003e followed in 1968, a touching and farcical presentation of American life beyond the Vietnam War and Great Depression, which earned Miller a Tony Award nomination for Best Play. In \u003cem\u003eThe Creation of the World and Other Business\u003c\/em\u003e (1972), Miller offers a comedic retelling of the Book of Genesis, constructing a parable around the theme of good-versus-evil. Also included are two of the playwright’s most beloved screenplays: \u003cem\u003eThe Misfits\u003c\/em\u003e, written for and filmed with Marilyn Monroe, and \u003cem\u003ePlaying for Time\u003c\/em\u003e, televised with Vanessa Redgrave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFreshly edited and featuring a bold new design, this updated edition of \u003cem\u003eArthur Miller Plays 2\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":47470057947372,"sku":"9781350333963","price":43.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350333963-arthur-miller-plays-2.jpg?v=1775210140","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/arthur-miller-plays-2-by-arthur-miller-9781350333963","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
