There seems to be a revival of Arthur Miller classics going on, reports the Washington Post. Forty years ago Wednesday, Miller’s first Broadway success, “All My Sons,” opened; on Feb. 7, a five-week run of the the play begins at the capital’s Ford’s Theatre. It was almost three years ago that Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” opened at the Kennedy Center starring Dustin Hoffman. It later was performed on Broadway and on TV. Two new Miller plays will open in a double bill this season at Lincoln Center in New York: “Clara” and “I Can’t Remember Anything.” And later in the year, Washington’s Arena Stage will present “The Crucible,” Miller’s stark indictment of the McCarthy witch-hunting days of the 1950s, set in Salem, Mass., in the 1600s. Jack O’Brien also recently staged “All My Sons” for “American Playhouse” in a TV production that received almost unanimous raves.
