In the history of postwar American art and politics, Arthur Miller casts a long shadow as a playwright of stunning range and power whose works held up a mirror to America and its shifting values. His characters wrestle with power conflicts, personal and social responsibility, and the repercussions of past actions.
Bringing new life to Miller’s plays for the current generation of students, Lecturer in the Graduate Program in Educational Theatre at The City College of New York and Mentor for the Arthur Miller Foundation Fellows Program Elizabeth Dunn-Ruiz’s educator’s guide is now available online: An Educator’s Guide to Arthur Miller: Exploring Plays as Authors, Activists, and Artists.
