For those who are interested: A View from the Bridge by A. Miller (česky Pohled z mostu): Městské divadlo Brno, 19.11. 2023

1) Watch the adaptation of the play or read the play Death of a Salesman (1949) by Arthur Miller. Focus on themes such as the American Dream, materialism, and betrayal.

2) Read the Conference Paper extract about American Dream and Illusion in Miller's play.

3) Prepare a short review of a play that has left either a positive or a negative impression on you (i.e. your most favorite or hated play that you have seen up to now). Try to make it up to 2 minutes. Speaking in your own words is preferred, but this time you can also read it from your notes.

I am also adding some more vocabulary in case you are interested in broadening your knowledge. We will have a look at some of the words during our lesson.

The film was adapted for television by A. Miller himself, meaning that everything he considered important is still there. Actors J. Cobb (Willy) and M. Dunnock (Linda) played their characters in both the 1949 original stage production and in this movie.
