A Memory of Two Mondays

A Memory of Two Mondays is a one-act play by Arthur Miller. Based on Miller's own experiences, the play focuses on a group of desperate workers earning their livings in a Brooklyn automobile parts warehouse during the Great Depression in the 1930s, a time of 25 percent unemployment in the United States. Concentrating more on character than plot, it explores the dreams of a young man yearning for a college education in the midst of people stumbling through the workday in a haze of hopelessness and despondency and alcoholism. Einstein Books' edition of "A Memory Of Two Mondays" contains supplementary texts: • "Tragedy And The Common Man", an essay by Arthur Miller. • An excerpt from "An Enemy Of The People", by Arthur Miller. • A few selected quotes of Arthur Miller.
