Arthur Miller is my new obsession

Written in the 60’s, inspired by the 30’s still so relevant to the 2020’s.
If you don’t know the history, you’ll end up repeating it

More Relevant Today!

As is so often in case with Miller’s best plays, the story, the content, and themes are timeless and have important, even urgent warnings for today’s audiences. And while this play is set in Nazi Germany, it is ultimately about the changeless and terrifying contours of fascism and the scars they leave on us as individuals, as a society, and as a race. To me, this belongs in the cannon of Miller’s greatest stage works.
