THE BIBLES JOB BUT IN REVERSEBy David KeymerMillerrsquo;s The Man Who Had All the Luck opened in New York on November 23; 1944; and closed on the 26th; after four performances and uniformly negative reviews. The problem; Miller realized when he watched it; was one of tone: it had been played as straight realism; when in fact it shouldnrsquo;t have been. Miller later wrote; ldquo;Standing in the back of the house . . . I could blame nobody. [It was] like music played on the wrong instrument in a false scale.rdquo; Miller moved on to other ventures and rising success and this; his first play to make it on stage; disappeared from sight; not to surface again for more than forty years. Then in 1988; a staged reading of the play convinced him it deserved another shot at being performed. The next year; it was staged in London by the Old Vic. Miller; who could be sharply critical of his own works; felt it captured ldquo;the wonder and naiveteacute; and purity of feeling of a kind of fairytale about the mystery of fate and destiny.ldquo; It reached Broadway for the second time in 2002. Even the New York Times; which had dismissed it forty-eight years earlier; found it ldquo;compelling.rdquo; The reviewer asked how it could have been ignored half a century earlier.The problem; let me say it again; was one of tone. Read the title: the last two words are ldquo;A Fable.rdquo; And thatrsquo;s what the play is; a fable; a cautionary tale about a kind of reverse Job named David Beeves; to whom so many good things happen over a period of years that he becomes obsessed with the notion of payback; a presentiment of cosmic balance: an unseen deity will some day make him pay for the luck hersquo;s had. Success begins to poison his life; his relations with his wife; with his infant son; eventually leads him to consider suicide. The play doesnrsquo;t end that way ndash;it ends instead with David embracing life and a qualified optimism -a provisional acceptance of his good fortune and the realization that luck doesnrsquo;t negate his sense of agency. Lucky or not; itrsquo;s still his life.At one point in the play; one of the characters; an immigrant mechanic; says that ldquo;[w]hat a man must have; what a man must believe. That on this earth he is the boss of his life. Not the leafs in the teacups; not the stars.rdquo; Christopher Bigsby posits in his exceptionally helpful introduction that Millerrsquo;s play is a kind of reverse version of Camusrsquo;s Caligula. Both plays describe a world with no visible moral/cosmic balance: in both; man must embrace his own agency for there is no other except chance. As far as the gods are concerned; or Fate; itrsquo;s like Gertrude Stein wrote of her home town of Oakland; California: ldquo;therersquo;s no there there.rdquo;Oh! In case you wonder whether I like this play or not; I do.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. "... When God Drops the Other Shoe"By JMackAfter initially failing; "The Man Who Had All the Luck" sat in wait on the mind of Arthur Miller for more than fifty years. Only a few years before his death; Miller made some new accomodations to the story that left many wondering where such a wonderful work could have been hidden all of this time. I anticipate seeing the popularity of this show growing even further in future years.David Beeves is a young man in the shadows of success when the story begins. Yet as the story progress; luck seems to find him in every circumstance. His businesses thrive and his personal relationship are more than viable. This pattern does not go unnoticed by the other characters such as Amos Beeves; the scorned major league baseball player and Davids brother. Everybody is waiting for the moment "when God drops the other shoe." In a twist; David makes an unholy bargain that against his luck. The twist creates the high level of emotional tension that is a trademark of Millers best work and creates an ending that does not disappoint.While it is certainly less well known; "The Man Who Had All the Luck" deserves to be recognized with Millers other great works. I would welcome the opportunity to see a live performance of this show in the future.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
