Remembering Arthur Miller is a celebration of a life committed to writing, to upholding liberty and to speaking out against injustice. Over eighty pieces from actors, writers, directors, reviewers and others who knew or worked with Miller, attest to his enduring legacy.” The scope of Miller’s life and work is heralded by stories from Alan Ayckbourn, Dustin Hoffman, Vanessa Redgrave, Eli Wallach, Gene Wilder, Carlos Fuentes, Nadine Gordimer, Ronald Harwood, Harold Pinter, Tom Stoppard and dozens of others whose lives were touched by Miller.
