The Last Yankee by Arthur Miller

"The greatest American dramatist of our age" (Evening Standard) In the waiting room of a State mental institution sit two men, there to visit their wives who are both suffering from depression. Frick, a no-nonsense successful businessman is shocked to find that the younger man, Leroy Hamliton, though descended from one of the Founding Fathers of the USA is, by profession a carpenter and a fairly contented one to boot. As we meet their respective wives, the play opens up some of the psycho-moral paradoxes haunting contemporary life."The Last Yankee reasserts Miller's unquestionable dominance of American drama it has the same brooding, powerful quality as all his work: it is a hard, dark elegy of American life, a pensive diagnosis, a requiem with a fugitive bass-note of hope." (John Peter, The Sunday Times)
