Synopsis

Arthur Miller’s pain-wracked drama is considered by some to be his most mature and possibly most personal, as it seems to mirror Miller’s own divorce closely.

This piece is a powerful and moving study of a contemporary man struggling to come to terms with himself and his world by probing back into the revealing and often painful events of his past.

The play takes place inside the mind of a Jewish New Yorker named Quentin who decides to look back on his life when deciding whether or not to marry his most recent love, Holga.

Press Reviews

— The New York Times

"A beautiful, remarkable play."
— NY World-Telegram & Sun
