“The Plays of Arthur Miller” class starts Wednesday, July 13

Arthur Miller

The plays of Arthur Miller continue to speak to audiences in strong and apt terms.  Such questions as “Is there such a thing as a tragedy of the common man?” or even “Is there such a thing as an American tragedy? still seek answers, and Miller’s plays abide as possible responses. 

This class will examine and discuss Miller’s four major plays — DEATH OF A SALESMAN, ALL MY SONS, THE CRUCIBLE, and AFTER THE FALL– in order to see what they have to say to us today on a variety of other subjects as well.  Through an examination of texts and films some powerful answers should emerge.

Date: Wednesday evenings 7/13-8/31 (8 classes)
Time: 6:00 PM-8:00 PM
Location: Wilsonville Public Library
Fee: $35

Texts will be available for purchase at a discount.

Sign up by calling the library at 503-682-2744 or visiting the Circulation Desk.
