ARTHUR

MILLER

Arthur Miller is considered one of the greatest American playwrights of the 20th century. His best-known plays include ‘All My Sons,’ ‘The Crucible’ and the Pulitzer Prize-winning ‘Death of a Salesman.’

Later in 1956, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) refused to renew Miller’s passport, and called him to appear before the committee. His 1953 play, the Tony Award-winning The Crucible, a dramatization of the Salem witch trials of 1692 and an allegory about McCarthyism, was believed to be one of the reasons why Miller came under the committee’s scrutiny. Miller refused to comply with the committee’s demands.
