Miller returned to the theatre, after a nine-year break, with After the Fall, a play which featured a character clearly based on Monroe, as well as one on Kazan and Inge. Dominating the set was a concentration camp tower, and Miller talks about the private and public significance of one of his most personal plays. Miller and Inge had a son, Daniel, who turned out to have Down syndrome. Miller talks openly about their decision to place him in a home rather than take him back to Roxbury. He talks of Daniel’s subsequent development. When news of Daniel’s existence was revealed many years later, along with the fact that he had seemingly been relegated to a home, Miller was attacked, but here he explains that both he and Inge believed that the decision was the right one.
