Full cast recordings of two of Arthur Miller's -greatest plays: Death
of a Salesman and The Crucible Featuring Lee J. Cobb (Willy Loman),
Mildred Dunnock (Linda Loman), Dustin Hoffman (Bernard) and Jerome
Dempsey (Reverend Parris)
Arthur Miller's Pulitzer Prize winner, Death of a Salesman, which he
describes as "the tragedy of a man who gave his life, or sold it" in
pursuit of the American Dream, is as relevant today as it was fifty
years ago. Directed by Ulu Grosbard and recorded in 1965, this recording
includes an introduction read by Arthur Miller.
The Crucible, first produced in 1953, is Miller's most produced play,
addressing mass hysteria, empty piety and collective evil. It is a play
that is not only relentlessly -suspenseful and vastly moving, but that
compels listeners to gather their hearts and consciences in ways that
only the greatest theater can. This production was recorded in 1972 and
was directed by John Berry.
