Read in September, 2007
completely unputdownable, heartbreaking and fragile and aching and engrossing from the first page. it makes it even more riveting knowing that its about his (of course) complicated relationship with marilyn monroe. im desperate to see this acted, and im even more desperate to play the role of maggie. someone somwhere please, let me play that role.

جمله ای از این نمایش نامه ی میللر به دلایلی هرگز از یاد من نمی رود. جایی که کوئنتاین، می گوید: جهان پر از بی عدالتی هایی بود که من به دنیا آمده بودم تا درستشان کنم"!

This play moved me greatly when I read it (I haven't seen it acted). The main character revisits his most emotional memories, including his betrayal of a friend who was undergoing investigation by HUAC.

recommends it for: non-linear theatre folk
This play is a bit self-indulgent on Arthur Miller's part, but I've seldom read an 'addict' character as honest as the character of Maggie. Ugh, it gives you THAT feeling.

A play about love, wrapped up in the Red Scares/ Witch Hunts. Just wonderful. The feel of the play was touching - it really reached out to me as a reader.

I adore this play. It's loosely auto-biographical and just so true and sad, and somehow very Arthur Miller American, I highly recommend it.
