{"product_id":"9781598531473","title":"Arthur Miller: Collected Plays 1964-1982","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis second volume of Arthur Miller's collected plays opens with \u003ci\u003eAfter the Fall\u003c\/i\u003e (1964), his much-anticipated return to the theater after an eight-year hiatus. A tour-de-force exploration of guilt, responsibility, and history, the play opened a window on the playwright's marriage to the late Marilyn Monroe. \u003ci\u003eIncident at Vichy\u003c\/i\u003e (1964) dramatizes the round-up of Jews in Vichy France in a vivid single act. \u003ci\u003eThe Price\u003c\/i\u003e (1968), a Broadway hit, follows two brothers, a successful surgeon and a struggling policeman, as they figure out how to dispose of their dead father's belongings. \u003ci\u003eThe Creation of the World and Other Business\u003c\/i\u003e (1972) and \u003ci\u003eUp from Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e (1974) treat characteristically grand themes in uncharacteristically comedic and musical forms. \u003ci\u003eThe American Clock\u003c\/i\u003e (1974) is a \"vaudeville\" about the Depression years, while \u003ci\u003eThe Archbishop's Ceiling\u003c\/i\u003e (1977), set in a room in Soviet-era Prague that may or may not be bugged, is a meditation on trust and betrayal. The tele-play \u003ci\u003ePlaying for Time\u003c\/i\u003e (1980) tells the story of the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz. Here, too, are several shorter one-act plays and sketches-among them \u003ci\u003eThe Reason Why\u003c\/i\u003e (1970), published for the first time-along with a selection of Miller's introductions and other writings about his plays.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of America, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060933869808,"sku":"9781598531473","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781598531473_p0.jpg?v=1763812908","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781598531473","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
