The Crucible also brought him a Tony Award.Mel Gussow is a cultural writer for The New York Times and the author of several books. His latest book, Conversations with Miller, is based on his 40 years of meetings with Arthur Miller. Enjoy Arthur Miller's discussion with Mel Gussow. Miller talks candidly about everything from the genesis of Death of a Salesman and the disastrous rehearsals before its Broadway debut, to the audience reaction to his newest play, Resurrection Blues. In a wide-ranging discussion about Broadway, Miller laments the fact that plays no longer originate on Broadway, and that the productions that deal with today's "great issues" are more likely to be seen on TV, film, off-Broadway, or in regional theatres.
