_'_Mr. Miller knows his audience… he is letting us know, the devil
will have his due.'
_NEW YORK TIMES_
When insurance agent Lyman Felt is hospitalised following a near-fatal
car crash, both of his wives show up at his bedside and his
duplicitous bigamy is revealed. As his shocked spouses – the prim
Theo and the assertive Leah – reel from this revelation and their
husband's hypocrisy, an outrageous question is presented: is marriage
actually easier this way?
Touching on themes of betrayal, crisis and reconciliation, _The Ride
Down Mt. Morgan_ is one of Miller's more controversial works, and was
nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play in 1991.
This Methuen Drama Student Edition is edited by Thiago Russo, with
commentary and notes that explore the play's production history
(including excerpts from an interview with director David Esbjornson)
as well as the dramatic, thematic and academic debates that surround
it.
