Plays in NY, and other big venues are expensive. Not so in smaller places. The cost and the easy accessibility of motion pictures, obviously, have cut the playgoing audience. Great plays have been, and-it seems-will always be, adapted to the movies. Unlike novels, essays, poetry, playwrights primarily want their creations seen.
@mfb25890 Are not the people in general responsible for the functioning of that particular system the way it does? Only a society that appreciates art can have it.
It's a bit strange to reduce a person to what oneself thinks he did at a certain point in his life, way, way back in the past. It's like accusing Yoko Ono for the Beatles' split-up. In a nutshell, it's absurd, so let's read Beckett.
@RonAlmeida continued...I think it is the problem with the entire English language art scene. It’s getting very mono-lingual characterless and mediocre. It is probably because there is a larger audience and more money to be made in the English idiom. When, money talks, art usually walks out the door. Having lived 20 years on the continent I know artists in all mediums seem to be more serious there, concentrating on their work rather than ‘making it’ in the commercial sense.
he was such a coward and marilyn proved it. like her mother, she was a real fighter. she figured miller was a sell-out and a collaborator when she read The Misfits and had her showdown with hoover when she went to Jack's birthday party despite the fact that the studio was so terrified, they threatened to shut down Something's Got to Give if she did. he was so terrified of hoover, he wouldn't even go to her funeral. he also knew that everyone would collaborate to make him look good.
Very hard to find a serious play without it being turned into a musical.
It's kinda sad how true it is how our theaters in America are failing.

Its hard to believe that Miller didnt have a masters in psychology. or did he?
Is he saying that the British belong to a better or progressive society?
@PJCoan ...nice, a child born with a disability is karmic punishment...what did your parents do to deserve a child with such a wonderful, open mind?

He institutionalized his son with Down Syndrome, doesn't sound like great morals to me.
