Arthur Miller was born in New York City on October 17, 1915, and educated at the University of Michigan.  The Tony award winning "All My Sons" was followed by "Death of a Salesman" in 1949, which won three Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize.  Other plays followed including:  "The Crucible", "A View from the Bridge", "After the Fall" and many others.  Miller was a prolific writer of radio plays, as well as books, short shorties and screen plays.

The story is concerned with the fortunes of the Keller and Deever families.  During the war Joe Keller and Herbert Deever ran a machine shop which made airplane parts.  Deever was sent to prison because the firm turned out defective parts, causing the deaths of many men, while Keller went free and made a lot of money.  The twin shadows of this catastrophe and the fact that the young Keller son was reported missing during the war dominate the action.  The love affair of Chris Keller and Ann Deever, the bitterness George Deever returned from the war to find his father in prison and his father´s partner free, are all set in a structure of almost unbearable power.  All of these elements combine for a shocking conclusion to a play electrifying in its intensity.
