...reinvigorate the text, Miller and Director Peter Wood have gone back to its beginnings. The inspiration for the piece, Miller acknowledges, was Studs Terkel's sprawling oral history Hard Times. But during pre-Broadway workshops and a Charleston, S.C., tryout, Miller was repeatedly counseled by critics to shift emphasis from a documentary-style montage of vignettes to a focus on a particular family, resembling his own, whose growing deprivation and humiliation reflected the Depression in microcosm. These semiautobiographical characters proved unable by themselves to bear the weight of enormous events; meanwhile, the play's sweep had been diminished...
