A relentlessly intelligent piece of work, this play zeroes in on a microscopic slice of a cosmic event. Set in the late 1930s with the inexorable reality of Nazi Germany and the coming war, a beautiful wife in Brooklyn suddenly and mysteriously is unable to walk. Amidst this powerful set-up, Miller turns his glare of truth on the couple’s lengthy sexual dysfunction. He probes with sublime compassion into their frayed union, while forcefully establishing the consequences of denial and repression. This is an eviscerating drama from America’s foremost playwright.
