Synopsis

In this moving one-act about people who work in an automobile parts warehouse in the early Roosevelt days, Arthur Miller presents a wide variety of tender character studies.

A youth gets a chance to go to college.

A drunk reforms.

Another drunk rebels, and a young man with a song in his soul finds himself forgetting the song as poverty and a lack of opportunity grind him down.

With his traditional emotional potency and timeless dialogue, Miller creates indelible moments out of this brief insight into his characters’ lives.

Originally presented with the one-act version of A View From The Bridge , A Memory of Two Mondays is another great contribution to American theatre from one of its masters.

Press Reviews

"Superlatively fine plays…American theatre in its most vigorous aspect, and with them Miller, whose work has already commanded great respect, shows further development in his human insight, his theatrical skill and his quality as a poet. These plays are in the vernacular of the lowly – of the inarticulate, even, yet they emerge as works of beauty."
