Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman addresses loss of identity and a man's inability to accept change within himself and society.
I think it is true of our beloved items and how they are discarded at the end of their usefulness, once our pride and joy but now left to rot!
This Off-Broadway playhouse on Chrisopher Street has been in continuous operation since 1955. Originally known as the Theatre De Lys, it was renamed after Lucille Lortel, an American actress and producer who ran the theater that was a gift from her husband, Louis Schweitzer, beginning in 1955. It has been in continuous operation since then, but it's history as a playhouse dates back to the 1930's when it was converted from a movie theater. The building itself dates to 1868.
The landmark production of Brecht/Weill's Threepenny Opera,starring Kurt Weill's wife Lotte Lenya opened the theater on September 20, 1955 and ran for almost seven years. Bernadette Peters had her first off-broadway role here in Dames at Sea. Richard Dryfuss debuted here in Israel Horowitz' Acrobats and Lines. Joey was in a play here on the TV show Friends. The theater has presented plays by Eugene O'Neill (Before Breakfast), Langston Hughes (Soul Gone Home, and Shakespeare in Harlem), Norman Mailer (The Deer Park). Kurt Vonnegut (Happy Birthday) and David Mamet (A Life in the Theatre). Other famous performers include Isabelle Sanford, Richard Purton, Billy Dee Williams, Stockard Channing, and Adam Arkin.
just another piece of graffiti I found in Portland . . .
and another example of the fact I did not even recognize Marilyn until I came home and downloaded this to my screen.
“[About Marilyn Monroe] she was “highly self-destructive”, during our marriage, “all my energy and attention were devoted to trying to help her solve her problems. Unfortunately, I didn’t have much success.” ~ Arthur Miller ~
. . . and yet, isn't it interesting what an icon she has become? Why do some individuals worship these people?
As we all know, in 1955 noted American playwright Arthur Miller, third husband of Marilyn Munroe, published his hugely successful work "A View from the Bridge", purported to have been inspired by a visit to Rodden Meadows in Frome to observe the Mendip freight scene of the time, apparently Arthur took photos while Marilyn jotted down the numbers as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, maybe because their hand-writing is clearer(?)
Doubtless neither would have been too pleased when, in April 2014 a large steel fence was erected by the land owner, an action which prevented further access to this vantage point and upset a few rail fotters and countless dog walkers simultaneously (but not my ex mother-in-law who can now land her Broomstick in her garden (to the right of locomotive) undisturbed.

Slaves, Puritans and Poisoned Wheat
Popular history has tried to find pat answers to the causes of the Massachusetts witch trials of 1692. Convenient myths point an accusing finger at the severe and unforgiving Puritans. Others point to a dark-skinned Caribbean slave who supposedly brought witchcraft to Massachusetts from Barbados, or hallucinogenic microbes in the wheat causing the girls of the village to convulse and appear bewitched. In fact, these explanations have little basis in reality. Tituba and her husband, John Indian, black slaves from the Caribbean had no central role in the trials. There is no mention in any of the historical records of Tituba dancing in the woods with the girls, or practicing witchcraft.
While the Puritan religion makes an easy target for blame, most of the ministers of the day signed petitions declaring the innocence of the accused. In general, they were against the tactics of the Salem Judges.
There was even a theory that blamed the seizures of the girls on a microbial infection of the local wheat. In fact, the erratic behavior and gyrations of the accusers was carefully choreographed. This was not random, pathological movement caused by infected food.
There is no easy, convenient and neat explanation. The tragic events in Essex County, Massachusetts were initiated by ill-behaved girls who accused for sport. The court made a tragic situation worse. The accused, presumed guilty by the judges, were tortured until they pleaded guilty, accused others and were set free. If they pleaded innocent, they were executed. One man refused to plead at all and was tortured to death over a three day period. With these judicial tactics it is easy to understand why the number of accused increased dramatically over a short period of time.
What makes tragedies like this all the more tragic is that we do not always learn by our mistakes. How many “witch trials” have there been since 1692 and who have been the accused?

Arthur Miller was a graduate of the University of Michigan. Can anyone remember what else he was famous for -besides writing plays, I mean?

Swedish postcard. Photo: Beata Bergström. Bibi Andersoon in a Dramaten production of the play 'Efter syndafallet' (After the Fall) by Arthur Miller, 1964. Direction by Frank Sundström.
Swedish film actress Bibi Andersson died on Sunday 14 April 2019 at the age of 83. She is best known for 13 films with director Ingmar Bergman.
Berit Elisabet Andersson was born in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, in 1935. She was the daughter of Karin (née Mansion), a social worker, and Josef Andersson, a businessman. Her artistic dreams came early in life and were further supported by her older sister Gerd Andersson who became a ballet dancer at the Royal Opera and made her acting debut in 1951. Bibi studied acting at the Terserus Drama School and from 1954 till 1956 at the Royal Dramatic Theatre School in Stockholm. Then she joined the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm, with which she was associated for 30 years. At first, she had to make do with bit parts and commercials. Her first collaboration with Ingmar Bergman was in 1951, when she participated in his production of an advertisement for the detergent 'Bris'. That year, she also made her film debut in Fröken Julie/Miss Julie (Alf Sjöberg, 1951) starring Anita Björk and based on the play by August Strindberg. The film deals with class, sex and power as the title character, the daughter of a Count in 19th century Sweden, begins a relationship with one of the estate's servants. The film won the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film at the 1951 Cannes Film Festival. A brief relationship with Ingmar Bergman made her quit school and follow him to the Malmö city theatre, where he was a director, performing in plays by August Strindberg and Hjalmar Bergman. She had a small part in Ingmar Bergman's film comedy Sommarnattens leende/Smiles of a Summer Night (Ingmar Bergman, 1955), which was shown at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival. In the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, Andersson starred in 13 Bergman-directed pictures. These included Det sjunde inseglet/The Seventh Seal (1957) with Gunnar Björnstrand and Max von Sydow, Smultronstället/Wild Strawberries (1957) with Victor Sjöström, and Nära livet/Brink of Life (1958) with Eva Dahlbeck and Ingrid Thulin. At the 1958 Cannes Film Festival, Bergman won the Best Director Award and Andersson, Dahlbeck, Thulin and Barbro Hiort af Ornäs won the Best Actress Award together. Andersson also appeared in Bergman's Ansiktet/The Face/The Magician (1958) with Max von Sydow, Djävulens öga/The Devil's Eye (1960) and the comedy För att inte tala om alla dessa kvinnor/All These Women (1964) a parody of Fellini's 8½.
In 1963, Bibi Andersson won the Silver Bear for Best Actress award at the 13th Berlin International Film Festiva lfor her role in Vilgot Sjöman's film Älskarinnan/The Mistress (1962). She also appeared in his drama Syskonbädd 1782/My Sister, My Love (Vilgot Sjöman, 1966). Her intense portrayal of the nurse Alma in the psychological drama Persona (Ingmar Bergman, 1966) with Liv Ullman, led to an increase in the number of cinematic roles offered her. Andersson appeared that same year opposite James Garner and Sidney Poitier in the violent Western Duel at Diablo (Ralph Nelson, 1966). She also worked with John Huston on the Spy film The Kremlin Letter (1970) and Robert Altman on the post-apocalyptic Science Fiction film Quintet (1979) with Paul Newman and Brigitte Fossey. She made her debut in American theatre in 1973 with a production of Erich Maria Remarque's Full Circle. Her best known American film is possibly I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (Anthony Page, 1977), that also starred Kathleen Quinlan as a a borderline schizophrenic. During this period she also appeared in several Bergman productions, including the drama En passion/The Passion of Anna (1969) with Liv Ullman and Max von Sydow, the romantic drama Beröringen/The Touch (1971), starring Von Sydow, Andersson and Elliott Gould, and the TV miniseries Scener ur ett äktenskap/Scenes from a Marriage (1973) starring Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson.
During the following decades, Bibi Andersson acted in several international films. With Anthony Perkins, she starred in the Dutch film Twee vrouwen/Twice a Woman (George Sluizer, 1979). She also was one of the passengers in the American air disaster film The Concorde ... Airport '79 (David Lowell Rich, 1979) with Alain Delon and Robert Wagner. In the American drama Exposed (James Toback, 1983), she co-starred with Nastassja Kinski and Rudolf Nureyev. She also appeared in Babettes gæstebud/Babette's Feast (Gabriel Axel, 1987), featuring Stéphane Audran and based on the story by Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen). It was the first Danish film to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. In 1990, she worked as a theatre director in Stockholm, directing several plays at Dramaten. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Andersson worked primarily in television and as a theatre actress, working with Ingmar Bergman among others. She was also a supervisor for the humanitarian project Road to Sarajevo. In 1996, she published her autobiography Ett ögonblick (A Moment, or, literally, A Blink of the Eye). She was married first to the director Kjell Grede (1960-1973, divorced), and, secondly, to the politician and writer Per Ahlmark (1979-1981, divorced). Andersson then married Gabriel Mora Baeza in 2004. In 2009 she had a stroke. An article from 2010 says that since she had been hospitalised, she was unable to speak. Andersson had a daughter, Jenny Matilde Grede, with ex-husband Kjell Grede.
