The New York Times has deemed this extraordinary collection to be "the crown jewel of public and network television."
Veteran actors Dick Van Patten (Eight Is Enough) and Jack Warden (From Here To Eternity, 12 Angry Men) join with Academy Award-winner Estelle Parsons (Blanche in Bonnie and Clyde) in Arthur Miller's vivid comedy-drama portraying the nature of life during America's Great Depression. Dramatizing a compacted group of memories spanning several years, the emphasis is on mood and characterization as Miller draws on his own personal experience to evoke what the 1930's were like for workers to whom a job-any job-was everything. Probably Miller's most humorous work, the playwright described it thus: "Nothing I wrote was with greater love, and I love nothing in my Collected Plays better than this play." Also stars Harvey Keitel (The Piano, Taxi Driver) and Jerry Stiller (Seinfeld).
