resilience and optimism in the face of national crisis, and was later
performed on Broadway. Set in an Eastern European capital, The

of two short plays - Elegy for a Lady and Some Kind of Love Story.

the tumult and tragedy of Miller's marriage to Marilyn Monroe Freshly
edited and featuring a bold new design, this updated edition of Arthur
Miller Plays 3 is a must-have for theatre fans and students alike.
