The final installment in Methuen Drama's esteemed series of works by Arthur Miller, widely recognized as the preeminent American playwright of his generation throughout his lifetime (Evening Standard), is now available. Comprising two plays from the 1990s and his final two plays (2002 and 2004), this collection offers the first-ever publication of Miller's final play, Finishing the Picture. Drawing inspiration from his experiences during the filming of The Misfits with his then wife Marilyn Monroe, the play was completed and produced at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago just months before the playwright's passing in February 2005.

Broken Glass (1994) is set in Brooklyn in 1938 and intricately weaves a woman's obsession with news from Germany, revealing government thugs vandalizing Jewish stores, alongside her peculiar relationship with her husband. This play skillfully balances private lives with public morality, while also exhibiting an incredibly vibrant and passionate essence. (Daily Telegraph)

Mr. Peters' Connections (1998) is an unforgettable exploration of one man's mind during a state of suspended consciousness, where the living and dead intertwine in his memory. Resurrection Blues (2002) is a remarkable black comedy set in a South American banana republic, satirizing global politics and the exploitative nature of a media-saturated culture. Additionally, the volume includes a chronology of the writer's work and an introduction by Enoch Brater, Professor of English Literature at the University of Michigan.
