Synopsis

The new play by Arthur Miller, which received its UK premiere at Almeida Theatre in July 2000 America's greatest twentieth-century playwright takes us on an unforgettable journey through one man's mind.

Miller places Mr Peter in a twilight world of dreams and memory, "in a space where the living and dead may meet".

In addition to encounters with his loving wife, their daughter, Rose, and her boyfriend, Leonard, Peters also revisits his old lover, Cathy-May, and his resentful brother, Calvin, both of whom are long dead.

But Miller's most original creation - and a creation of Peters' imagination - is Adele, a bag lady, who represents an incomprehensible black presence on the margins of the city's existence.

Caught in this suspended state of consciousness, Peters' mind is free to roam "from terror of death to glorying in one's being alive."

"The greatest American dramatist of our age" (Evening Standard)
