Although written in 1947 in the aftermath of World War II, the basic theme of corporate greed and malfeasance is still appropriate: to wit the multiple scandals emanating from contracting for the Iraqi wars. Unfortunately, the play is protracted through endless useless dialog (although some of the early scenes do contain a tad of wit). There are a few letdowns to justice; Miller builds our hopes only to thrash them in the end. Nevertheless, read this for its basic theme of greed.
