Newcomer Bert, only 18 years old, hopes to escape this world, earnestly saving his wages for college... but can such a dream survive his workplace's haze of hopelessness, despondency and alcoholism?A vivid rendering of life under the Great Depression, A Memory of Two Mondays perfectly captures the anxieties and concerns of the 1930s, autobiographically reflecting Miller's own experience as an 18-year-old in this period.This Methuen Drama Student Edition is edited by Stephen Marino, with commentary and notes that explore the play's production history (including excerpts from an interview with director Rob Roznowski) as well as the dramatic, thematic and academic debates that surround it |
