When his first Broadway play closed in 1944 after only four performances, Arthur Miller determined to give up the theatre forever.

He failed in that determination, with the result that in 1947 he gave us All My Sons and, two years later, Death of a Salesman. There followed, among others, The Crucible (1953), A View From the Bridge (1955), The Price (1968), and The Ride Down Mount Morgan (1991).

That first play, The Man Who Had All the Luck, was revived in 2002. Bruce Weber, reviewing it in the Times,* said, “I can think of no other revival that is so enriched by retrospective knowledge.”
