The play one studies in Outcome 3 Unit 3 is important to be read before one sees the play as the expectation thus the original playscript may be altered in the directors interpretation:
-The action of the play is set in August 1947 in the mid west of the U.S.A
-Arthur Miller wrote the play in 1946
-The setting of the plot takes place in the back yard of the Keller’s home in the outskirts of an American town. Upstage is filled with the back of the house and its open, unroofed porch. At the right, beside the house, the driveway can be seen, in the left corner downstage stands the four-foot high stump of a slender apple tree. Garden chairs and table are scattered about.
-The theatrical style is naturalistic/ realistic both in the playscrpit and in the production
-The historical events of World War Two influence in plot of the play as the play comments of the struggle of Joe Keller to forget his past and create the American dream.
