TL;DRAbstract
After the Fall seems to be Miller's attempt to draw together a number of threads in his own life, the life of his society and a post-war world still haunted, nearly twenty years on, by the implications of the Holocaust. It is a play which equally acknowledges the superfluity of evil, which was the black gift of the Nazis, the wilful surrender of private conscience in the face of public coercion, evidenced by the witch-hunts of the fifties, and the insidious and corrupting banality of private betrayals.
