Reviews"Here we find the true compassion and catharsis that are as essential to our society as water and fire and babies and air. I remember walking and running and jumping out of the theater after seeing Death of a Salesman , like a child in the morning, because Miller awakened in me the taste for all that must be--the empathy and love for the least of us, out of which bursts a gratitude for the poetry of these characters and the greatness of their creator." --Philip Seymour Hoffman "His plays and his conscience are a cold burning force." --Edward Albee "You can usually tell if a writers loves actors or not by the parts he gives you. He gives you tap dances. He gives you arias." --Dustin Hoffman "[ Death of a Salesman ] was our story that we did not know until we heard it." --David Mamet "Arthur Miller is a playwright for all seasons and all nations." --Christopher Bigsby "The greatest playwright of the 20th Century." --Vaclav Havel "Writing meant, for him, an effort to locate in the human species a counterforce to the randomness of victimisation." --Salman Rushdie "He was so honest and a man of rare integrity in his writing." --Harold Pinter "Arthur was the last of the three great theatrical voices of the American century - O'Neill, Williams, Miller." --David Hare "[Miller] has looked with compassion into the hearts of some ordinary Americans and quietly transferred their hope and anguish to the theatre." --Brooks Atkinson, "Here we find the true compassion and catharsis that are as essential to our society as water and fire and babies and air.
