Arthur Miller

Theater Review: Bedlam’s “Crucible” — Burn, Baby, Burn

Bedlam’s provocative production of The Crucible has a purpose — to urge us all to stand up and shout down the devils in our midst.

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater, Uncategorized Tagged: Arthur Miller, Bedlam, Bedlam Theater Company, Central Square Theater, The Crucible

Theater Review: A Tepid “Fall”

Fall’s conflict is presented with insufficient power; its domestic tragedy is not propelled along its inevitably troubling course.

By: Robert Israel Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Arthur Miller, Bernard Weinraub, Fall, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Peter-DuBois

Theater Interview: “Fall” — Probing Arthur Miller’s Secret

Why has Bernard Weinraub chosen this secretive chapter of Miller’s life as fodder for his play?

By: Robert Israel Filed Under: Featured, Preview, Theater Tagged: Arthur Miller, Bernard Weinraub, Fall, Huntington-Theatre-Company

Theater Review: “Incident at Vichy” — The Vicissitudes of Guilt

Praxis Stage manages to get Arthur Miller’s message across, and it is a valuable one that must be repeated well beyond the inauguration.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Arthur Miller, Incident at Vichy, Inner Sanctum, Praxis Stage

Book/Theater Interview: Library of America Celebrates Arthur Miller’s Centennial

The Library of America has done its part to applaud Arthur Miller’s 100th birthday with a handsome 3-volume set of his plays.

Theater Review: Arthur Miller’s “Broken Glass” – A Boston Premiere For An American Master

The New Repertory Theatre is paying homage to Arthur Miller’s centennial with a superb staging of one of the dramatist’s later works, Broken Glass.

Fuse Theater Review: A First-Rate and Relevant Version of “An Enemy of the People”

Ibsen’s and Miller’s scientist hero must contend with denial, disbelief, ignorance, fear of change, malice, opportunism, greed, the abuse of power, censorship, betrayal, and violence. Sound familiar?

By: Helen Epstein Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: An Enemy of the People, Arthur Miller, Barrington Stage Company, Culture Vulture, GE, Henrik Ibsen, Housatonic

Theater Review: A Moderately Powerful “Death of a Salesman” from The Lyric Stage Company

A lack of dramatic combustion sometimes makes the Lyric Stage Company production, despite its intelligent detail, more staidly melodramatic than it should be.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Arthur Miller, Bob Jolly, Death of a Salesman, Ken Baltin, Lyric stage company of boston, Paula Plum, Spiro Veloudos

Theater Review: “All My Sons” — An American Antique

If this sounds like a melodrama, that is because Arthur Miller wrote one. “All My Sons” was very much a product of the dramatist’s times and politics.

By: Helen Epstein Filed Under: Books, Featured, Theater Tagged: All My Sons, Arthur Miller, Barrington Stage Company, Culture Vulture, Julianne Boyd

Theater Commentary: Isn’t It a Question of Relevance?

The reviews of the Huntington Theatre Company (HTC) production were generally ecstatic. And what could be timelier than an oft-produced American drama that focuses on the tragic costs of war profiteering?
