Salesman in Beijing
Author(s): Arthur Miller
RARE AND COLLECTIBLE | ENTERTAINERS
In 1983, Arthur Miller was invited to Beijing to direct the first Chinese production of Death of a Salesman. This book is the diary he kept during of that unique and eccentric production. The diary portrays the challenges that faced Miller as a Liberal American playwright and director working in Communist China. Miller's major concern was how to overcome the linguistic and cultural difficulties of trying to communicate his artistic vision to a Chinese cast. The result is not merely an interesting account of a highly unusual production, but it also reveals the process any production may go through, and is an insight into the mind of a considerate director. * Long-overdue reissue of a seminal theatre book by the grent American dramatist.
1984, First edition. A very good copy only marked by very light spotting to the edges and a small area of whiteout to the top corner of the front free endpaper. The contents are fine and unmarked. The d/w is near fine with only light edge rubbing.
