Arthur Miller's Elegy for a Lady

This intimate play by one of theatre's master playwrights follows a conversation between a shopkeeper and a man searching for a gift for his dying mistress. Secrets are shared in intimate exchanges through which the Man questions how well we ever really know the ones we love. The two strangers share a small miracle which, if only for a brief moment, allows them a closeness always hoped for but seldom fulfilled. 

​One of Miller’s later works, this short play is often seen as an insight into his brief five year marriage to Marilyn Monroe.
