Early career

In 1944 Miller wrote The Man Who Had All the Luck, which was produced in New York and won the Theater Guild's National Award. The Man Who Had All the Luck is a play by Arthur Miller. The title character is David Beeves a young Midwestern Automobile Mechanic [11] Despite this critical success, the play closed after only six performances.

George Francis Abbott ( June 25, 1887 - January 31, 1995) was an American Theater producer and director, Playwright Holm's Three Men on a Horse for television. [6] Things changed in 1947, when Miller's All My Sons was produced at the Coronet Theater. The play was directed by Elia Kazan, with whom Miller would have a continuing professional and personal relationship, and ran for three hundred and twenty-eight performances. Elia Mother, ( Greek: Ηλίας Καζάν September 7 1909 &ndash September 28 2003) was a Greek - American [9] All My Sons won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award[12] and two Tony Awards[13] in 1947, despite Miller receiving criticism for being a Communist.

In 1948 Miller built a small studio in Roxbury, Connecticut, a town that was to be his long time home. Roxbury is a town in Litchfield County, Connecticut, United States. There, within the space of six weeks, he wrote Death of a Salesman,[6] the work for which he is best known. Death of a Salesman is a 1949 play by American playwright Arthur Miller and is considered a classic of American theater [14][5] Death of a Salesman premiered on Broadway on February 10, 1949 at the Morosco Theatre, directed by Kazan, and starring Lee J.

Events 1355 - The St Scholastica's Day riot breaks out in Oxford, England, leaving 63 scholars and perhaps 30 locals dead Year 1949 ( MCMXLIX) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

The play was critically acclaimed, winning a Tony Award for best play,[15] and a Pulitzer Prize,[16][17] and ran for seven hundred and forty-two performances. The Pulitzer Prize, ˈpʊlɨtsɚ PULL-it-sər is an American award regarded as the highest national honor in Newspaper journalism, [5]

In 1952, Elia Kazan appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and, under fear of being blacklisted from Hollywood, named eight people from the Group Theatre who in recent years had been fellow members of the Communist Party. The House Committee on Un-American Activities ( HUAC or HCUA 1938–1975 was an investigative committee of the United States House of Representatives. The Communist Party of the United States of America ( CPUSA) is a Marxist-Leninist Political party in the United States. [18] After speaking with Kazan about his testimony[19] Miller traveled to Salem, Massachusetts to research the witch trials of 1692. Salem is a city in Essex County, Massachusetts, United States. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts ( is a state located in the New England region of the northeastern United States. The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings before local magistrates followed by county court Trials to prosecute people accused of Witchcraft in Essex [9] The Crucible, an allegorical play in which Miller likened the situation with the House Un-American Activities Committee to the witchhunt in Salem,[20] opened at the Beck Theatre on Broadway on January 22, 1953.

Year 1953 ( MCMLIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Though widely considered unsuccessful at the time of its initial release, today The Crucible is one of Miller's most frequently produced works. [9] Miller and Kazan had been close friends throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s, but after Kazan's testimony to HUAC, the pair's friendship ended, and they did not speak to each other for the next ten years. [18] HUAC took an interest in Miller himself not long after The Crucible opened, denying him a passport to attend the play's London opening in 1954. [6] Kazan defended his own actions through the film, On the Waterfront, in which a dockworker heroically testifies against a corrupt union boss. On the Waterfront is a American Drama film about mob violence and corruption among longshoremen. Miller was in turn to respond with the play A View from the Bridge, in which another dockworker's decision to inform on two illegal immigrants is based on ignoble, self-serving motives. A View from the Bridge is a play by Arthur Miller originally produced as a one-act Verse drama on Broadway in 1955 Miller did have his case overturned and his passport returned. His feelings about HUAC never changed.

Miller's experience with HUAC affected him throughout his life. In the late 1970s he became very interested in the highly publicized Barbara Gibbons murder case, in which Gibbons' son Peter Reilly was convicted of his mother's murder based on what many felt was a coerced confession and little other evidence. City Confidential, an A&E program about the murder, postulates that part of the reason Miller took such an active interest (including supporting Reilly's defense and using his own celebrity to bring attention to Reilly's plight) was because he had felt similarly persecuted in his run-in with the HUAC. City Confidential is an American documentary Television show on the A&E Network, which singles out a community during each episode He sympathized with Reilly, whom he firmly believed to be innocent and to have been railroaded by the Connecticut State Police and the Attorney General who had initially prosecuted the case.

In 1955 a one-act version of Miller's verse drama, A View From The Bridge, opened on Broadway in a joint bill with one of Miller's lesser-known plays, A Memory of Two Mondays. Verse drama is any Drama written as verse to be spoken another possible general term is poetic drama.

Taking advantage of the publicity of Miller's marriage, HUAC subpoenaed him to appear before the committee shortly before the nuptials. A subpoena (səˈpiːnə is commonly defined as a written command to a person to Testify before a Court or be punished Before appearing, Miller asked the committee not to ask him to name names, to which the chairman agreed. [21] When Miller attended the hearing, to which Monroe accompanied him, risking her own career,[9] he gave the committee a detailed account of his political activities. Reneging on the chairman's promise, the committee asked him to reveal to the names of friends and colleagues who had partaken in similar activities. [21] Miller refused to comply with the request, saying "I could not use the name of another person and bring trouble on him. "[21] As a result a judge found Miller guilty of contempt of Congress in May 1957. Contempt of Congress is the act of obstructing the work of the United States Congress or one of its committees. Miller was fined $500, sentenced to thirty days in prison, blacklisted, and disallowed a U. S. passport. [3] In 1958 his conviction was overturned by the court of appeals, which ruled that Miller had been misled by the chairman of HUAC. [3]
