 Arthur Miller: an advocate of the 'exploited common man' -DAWN - International; 12 February, 2005
NEW YORK, Feb 11: Playwright Arthur Miller, who died on Thursday at age 89, won international acclaim for work such as "Death of a Salesman" and "The Crucible" that tapped into the malaise of post-war America.
The play, about a financially successful man who is nevertheless unhappy, presaged one of the great themes of his life's work and was met with scathing reviews.
Even sceptics like leading critic Robert Brustein, who decades later sniffed at Miller's "plight of the exploited common man," was appreciative of the playwright's emotional power in depicting the difficult bonds of family.

For actors, it was a role that made new reputations and cemented old ones — from Lee J. Cobb, Willy in the 1949 original, to the two very different Broadway Lomans of the last 20 years — the diminutive Dustin Hoffman in the superb 1984 revival to a strapping Brian Dennehy 15 years later.
In it, everything is seen through the eyes of its tortured, driven protagonist, Quentin, who is involved with a tempestuous singer who bore a strong resemblance to Monroe.

 Talkin' Broadway Review: The Man Who Had All the Luck
The soon-to-be revered playwright, who provided modern classics with All My Sons, The Crucible, Death of a Salesman, and many others had a clever conceit at the heart of his first Broadway play, The Man Who Had All the Luck, which opened in 1944.
The title character is David Beeves, a young man who has discovered that he is blessed with what appears to be astonishingly good fortune.
He was still developing his personal approach to his craft, but there's hardly a complete lack of thoughtful material in The Man Who Had All the Luck, and days after you see the play, you may well find yourself pondering the ideas and recommendations brought forth in the script.

Infused with the moral malaise of the Depression era, the drama centers on David Beeves, a man whose every obstacle to personal and professional success seems to crumble before him.
