AU Hosts 13th International Arthur Miller Conference

Ashland University welcomes the 13th International Arthur Miller Conference to our campus this weekend to discuss the relevance of Arthur Miller in 2019.

The conference will include discussion of the relevance of Miller’s life and works from his roots, sources and early plays through the politics in his plays and his work as adapter. Miller’s works will be compared with other playwrights both past and present.

The keynote address will be delivered by distinguished Arthur Miller scholar Susan C. W. Abbotson of Rhode Island College. She is the author of A Critical Companion to Arthur Miller and Student Companion to Arthur Miller and numerous articles on Miller.

The conference will include staged readings of scenes from Miller’s plays and the Ashland University Department of Theatre will present their production of Miller’s An Enemy of the People.
