  • FINISHING the PICTURE by Arthur Miller
    Press Information ! ! ! VIBRANT NEW WRITING | UNIQUE REDISCOVERIES June–August Season 2018 The UK premiere of Arthur Miller’s final play FINISHING THE PICTURE by Arthur Miller. Directed by Phil Willmott. Set Design by Isabella Van Braeckel. Costume Design by Penn O’Gara. Lighting Design by Rachel Sampley. Sound Design by Nicola Chang. Presented by Nastazja Somers for The Phil Willmott Company in association with the Finborough Theatre. Cast: Patrick Bailey. Stephen Billington. Jeremy Drakes. Nicky Goldie. Rachel Handshaw. Oliver Le Sueur. Tony Wredden. "She is frightened and resentful and angry – and we’ve got about half an hour to cure all three.” Following his critically acclaimed, up-close reinvention of Arthur Miller’s Incident at Vichy and sell-out revival of The American Clock, multi-award-winning director Phil Willmott brings the intense focus of the intimate Finborough Theatre to bear on Miller’s final work, Finishing The Picture, opening for a four week limited season on Tuesday, 12 June 2018 (Press Nights: Thursday, 14 June 2018 and Friday, 15 June 2018 at 7.30pm.) As the women of today’s Hollywood campaign for dignity and equality, Finishing the Picture is a razor sharp psychological study of an abused, misunderstood female star and the havoc her unpredictability brings to a film set in 1961. Inspired by the filming of The Misfits, the screenplay Miller wrote for his then wife, Marilyn Monroe, and focused on the bemused and exasperated director, screen writer, producer, acting coaches and crew that closely mirror the real life production team of The Misfits – and whilst leading lady Kitty shares many characteristics with Monroe herself, Finishing the Picture – Arthur Miller’s very final play – is a devastating indictment of how a male-dominated movie industry inadvertently destroyed a vulnerable young woman, even as they transformed her into a screen goddess, and how they were unable to deal with the wreckage they caused.

  • Announcing a VIEW from the BRIDGE
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE “One of the most powerful productions of a Miller play I have ever seen. By the end you feel both emotionally drained and unexpectedly elated — the classic hallmark of a great production.” - The Daily Telegraph “To say visionary director Ivo van Hove’s production is the best show in the West End is like saying Stonehenge is the current best rock arrangement in Wiltshire; it almost feels silly to compare this pure, primal, colossal thing with anything else on the West End. A guileless granite pillar of muscle and instinct, Mark Strong’s stupendous Eddie is a force of nature.” - Time Out “Intense and adventurous.

  • The Crucible
    Political Issues A Playgoer’s Guide to Several works written by Arthur Miller dealt with political issues. For example, Death of a Salesman dealt with the American ideal of capitalism and power. In the case of The Crucible, to quote Arthur Miller, it was THE CRUCIBLE written with the intent “to use the Salem witch trials as a metaphor for by Arthur Miller McCarthyism.” The definition of McCarthyism is "the practice of publicizing accusations of political disloyalty or subversion with The Author insufficient regard to evidence.” During the 1950s, the United States cracked down on communists, potential communists, or supporters of Arthur Miller was born on October 17, 1915 in New York City. He has Communism. Similar in many ways to the witch trials of 1692, many enriched the Broadway stage for several decades and has made a reputation Americans were accused of being supportive to the communist party.

  • STACY KEACH RETURNS to WASHINGTON to STAR in King Lear at SHAKESPEARE THEATRE COMPANY JUNE 16-JULY 19

Please provide us with your email address so that we can continue to send our press releases to you. For Immediate Release Media Contact: Amy Scott-Douglass May 22, 2009 202.547.3230 ext. 2312 [email protected] STACY KEACH RETURNS TO WASHINGTON TO STAR IN King Lear AT SHAKESPEARE THEATRE COMPANY JUNE 16-JULY 19 Remount of Critically-Acclaimed Production by Tony Award-winning Director Robert Falls WASHINGTON, D.C.— Two theatre greats—actor Stacy Keach and director Robert Falls—have teamed up to bring one of the most powerful dramas in Western literature to the Shakespeare Theatre Company. Keach will star in Falls’ remount of his critically-acclaimed production of King Lear at Sidney Harman Hall (610 F Street NW) from June 16 to July 19, 2009. Tony Award-winning director Falls’ provocative, graphic production captures both the stark violence and the devastating passion of Shakespeare's masterpiece. Seeking to place King Lear in “a very specific time and place,” Falls chose war-torn 1990s Yugoslavia as the setting. “I wanted to challenge myself,” says Falls, “into thinking about theatre and about life in a more immediate, contemporary, daring way.” When the production premiered at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre in 2006, The Chicago Tribune called it “a colossal, eye-popping operatic production,” and The New York Times proclaimed it one of the best productions of 2006. “It’s the production I’m most proud of in my career,” says Falls, “so I’m thrilled to be doing it at the Shakespeare Theatre Company.” Fresh off his Helen Hayes Award-winning performance in Frost-Nixon, Stacy Keach returns to STC to star as the tempestuous patriarch.

  • Arthur Miller's “Finishing the Picture”: Art As Business
    ACADEMIA DE STUDII ECONOMICE BUCUREŞTI Sesiunea Internaţională de Comunicări Ştiinţifice Youth on the move. Teaching languages for international study and career-building Bucureşti, 13-14 mai 2011 ARTHUR MILLER’S “FINISHING THE PICTURE”: ART AS BUSINESS Elena CIORTESCU FEAA, “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iasi Abstract “Finishing the Picture” is about Marilyn Monroe as much as about the creation of art, a story about filming “The Misfits” as much as a story about American dreams. Besides a return to the past, to the time when “The Misfits” was filmed, the play “questions the artistic pretension of the movie industry and satirizes a business which the playwright views as determined to turn everything and everyone into a product” (Abbotson, Critical Companion). Although the set is back in the sixties, the play appeals to contemporary issues and points to the inextricable dependence relationship of art and money. Key-words: Movie industry, art, business. In 2004, Arthur Miller’s Finishing the Picture premiered at the Goodman Theater, Chicago. Ironically enough, the latter would be Miller’s last play although not his last piece of writing. One year later, on February 10, the playwright died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut. 128 Arthur Miller denied any connection between the character in Picture, Kitty, and Marilyn Monroe. Nevertheless, her figure is present in so many of his female characters that we can only assume that the playwright simply refused to recognize the powerful impact she had on his life and work. Finishing the Picture is a story about Monroe as much as a story about the creation of art, a story about filming The Misfits as much as a story about American dreams.

  • The American Clock
    Press Information Rediscoveries2012 Season February to April 2012 The Steam Industry, Franklin Productions Ltd and Neil McPherson at the Finborough Theatre by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited presents The first professional UK production in more than 25 years THE AMERICAN CLOCK by Arthur Miller . Directed by Phil Willmott. Designed by Philip Lindley. Lighting Design by Jason Meininger. Sound Design by Edward Lewis. Costume Design by Gregor Donnelly. Cast includes: Michael Benz. David Ellis. Eva Fontaine. Michael J Hayes. Christopher Heyward. James Horne. Natalie Kent. Richard Morse. Daniel Norford. Megan Elizabeth Pitt. Patrick Poletti. Issy Van Randwyck. Multi-award-winning director – and former Artistic Director – Phil Willmott returns to the Finborough Theatre with the first professional UK production in more than 25 years of Arthur Miller's The American Clock , opening at the Finborough Theatre on Tuesday, 27 March 2012 ( Press Night: Thursday, 29 March 2012 at 7.30pm ) for a four week limited season. Inspired partly by Studs Terkel's oral history Hard Times , and partly by Arthur Miller's own recollections, The American Clock is a panoramic 'dramatic vaudeville' about the Great Depression of the 1930s. When the stock market crashes, a well-to-do family loses everything and is forced to move from their plush penthouse apartment to the modest home of a relative in Brooklyn... More relevant than ever, The American Clock is a deeply affecting evocation both of a tortured time in American history and of the indomitable spirit of the people who survived in the face of unaccustomed adversity. The American Clock premiered on Broadway at the Biltmore Theatre in 1980.
