Miller ranks with O'Neill at the forefront of American playwrights, and with such masters as Ibsen and Galsworthy in terms of writing plays imbued with a social conscience. Nearly everyone is familiar with his "Death of a Salesman" which is not directly political. Not so well known are his "All My Sons" the story of a WW II profiteer, who learns that his corner-cutting ... -- well, I won't spoil the play for those who haven't read it. "The Crucible" is a parable indicting those who sought to inhibit freedom of thought and association during the anti-Communist hysteria of the late 40's and 50's. "A View from the Bridge" is also terrific. Less well-known, but very powerful, is his "Incident at Vichy" a play about personal courage in the face of Nazi tyranny.

Miller's later plays -- "After the Fall" and "The Price" -- were disappointing to my taste. Perhaps his brief marriage to Ms Monroe had sapped his, um, creative energies.
