Ruskin Group Theatre extends A Memory of Two Mondays

Due to overwhelming demand, Arthur Miller's autobiographical play which is now being staged at the Ruskin Group Theatre, A Memory of Two Mondays, will run three additional weeks and now close on Sunday, August 14th. The play elegantly, and hilariously at times, depicts the way a common experience can bond people together.

Miller says of the era - "There were two occasions when Americans lived through a common experience, not in the first world war or even the second, or in Korea, or even Vietnam, but in the Civil War and the Great Depression, that is when everybody was in the same boat...and perhaps we understood each other a little bit better then."

During a time of 25% unemployment, Arthur Miller's play conjures the dreams of a young man yearning for a college education and a life beyond the hopelessness of the 1930's Great Depression. Originally produced on Broadway in 1955, this piece draws from the playwright's own experiences, and focuses on several working class characters diligently earning a living in a Brooklyn automobile parts warehouse. The Broadway revival production was recognized with 9 Drama Desk Award nominations, a Tony, and Theatre World Award.
