Miller Plays: 6 Broken Glass; Mr Peters' Connections; Resurrection Blues; Finishing The Picture

<i>Miller Plays: 6</i> is <b>the final volume in Methuen Drama's acclaimed series of work by Arthur Miller</b> who, during his lifetime, was acknowledged as <b>'the greatest American dramatist of our age' </b>(<i>Evening Standard</i>). Featuring two plays from the 1990s and his final two plays (2002 and 2004), it is <b>the first ever publication of Miller's final play, <i>Finishing the Pictur</i>e</b>. Inspired by his experience during the filming of <i>The Misfits </i>with<br>his then wife Marilyn Monroe, the play was completed and produced at<br>the Goodman Theatre, Chicago, just months before the playwright's death<br>in Feburary 2005.<br><br><i>Broken Glass </i>(1994) is set in Brooklyn in 1938 and<br>intertwines a woman's obsession with the news from Germany that<br>government thugs are smashing Jewish stores, with her strange<br>relationship with her husband. 'It balances private lives with public<br>morality. . . it is also <b>an amazingly full-blooded piece, bursting with pain and passion</b>.' (<i>Daily Telegraph</i>). <i>Mr Peter's Connections</i><br>(1998) is an unforgettable journey through one man's mind at a time of<br>suspended consciousness, where the living and dead intermingle in his<br>memory. <i>Resurrection Blues</i> is Miller's astonishing black comedy<br>set in a South American banana republic, that satirises global politics<br>and the predatory nature of a media-saturated culture.<br><br>The volume <b>also features a chronology of the writer's work and an introduction by Enoch Brater</b>, professor of English Literature at the University of Michigan.<br>
