From his quiet debut, The Man Who Had All the Luck, and All My Sons, the follow-up that established him as a major talent, to career hallmarks like The Crucible and Death of a Salesman, and later works like Mr. Peters' Connections and Resurrection Blues, the range and courage of Miller's moral and artistic vision are here on full display.

Pressestimmen
Here we find the true compassion and catharsis that are as essential to our society as water and fire and babies and air. I remember walking and running and jumping out of the theater after seeing Death of a Salesman, like a child in the morning, because Miller awakened in me the taste for all that must be the empathy and love for the least of us, out of which bursts a gratitude for the poetry of these characters and the greatness of their creator.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
His plays and his conscience are a cold burning force.
Edward Albee
You can usually tell if a writers loves actors or not by the parts he gives you. He gives you tap dances. He gives you arias.
Dustin Hoffman
[Death of a Salesman] was our story that we did not know until we heard it.
