Arthur Miller
Playwright
Arthur Miller was one of the greatest American playwrights of the 20th century, celebrated for his powerful and probing dramas that explored the complexities of the human condition and societal norms. Born on October 17, 1915, in New York City, Miller's works are renowned for their deep psychological insight and moral urgency. His most famous play, "Death of a Salesman," which debuted in 1949, won multiple Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, offering a poignant critique of the American Dream. Other significant works include "The Crucible" and "A View from the Bridge." Miller's plays often depicted the struggles of the common man against a hostile society, and his ability to intertwine personal and societal issues made his works timeless. Beyond the stage, Miller was also a prominent essayist and advocate for social justice, which reflected in his writings and public engagements. His influence on American theater and culture remains profound.
