'Mr. Miller knows his audience… he is letting us know, the devil
will have his due.' NEW YORK TIMES When insurance agent Lyman Felt is
hospitalised following a near-fatal car crash, both of his wives show
up at his bedside and his duplicitous bigamy is revealed. As his
shocked spouses – the prim Theo and the assertive Leah – reel from
this revelation and their husband's hypocrisy, an outrageous question
is presented: is marriage actually easier this way? Touching on themes
of betrayal, crisis and reconciliation, The Ride Down Mt. Morgan is
one of Miller's more controversial works, and was nominated for the
Tony Award for Best Play in 1991. This Methuen Drama Student Edition
is edited by Thiago Russo, with commentary and notes that explore the
play's production history (including excerpts from an interview with
director David Esbjornson) as well as the dramatic, thematic and
academic debates that surround it.
