<DIV>This second volume of Arthur Miller's collected plays opens with <i>After the Fall</i> (1964), his much-anticipated return to the theater after an eight-year hiatus. A tour-de-force exploration of guilt, responsibility, and history, the play opened a window on the playwright's marriage to the late Marilyn Monroe. <i>Incident at Vichy</i> (1964) dramatizes the round-up of Jews in Vichy France in a vivid single act. <i>The Price</i> (1968), a Broadway hit, follows two brothers, a successful surgeon and a struggling policeman, as they figure out how to dispose of their dead father's belongings. <i>The Creation of the World and Other Business</i> (1972) and <i>Up from Paradise</i> (1974) treat characteristically grand themes in uncharacteristically comedic and musical forms. <i>The American Clock</i> (1974) is a "vaudeville" about the Depression years, while <i>The Archbishop's Ceiling</i> (1977), set in a room in Soviet-era Prague that may or may not be bugged, is a meditation on trust and betrayal. The tele-play <i>Playing for Time</i> (1980) tells the story of the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz. Here, too, are several shorter one-act plays and sketches-among them <i>The Reason Why</i> (1970), published for the first time-along with a selection of Miller's introductions and other writings about his plays.</div>
