![]() The Arthur Miller Studio Project - a nonprofit composed mostly of local residents - is spearheading a campaign to restore the studio to its mid-century glory and open it to the public. And while the playwright’s place in the pantheon of American literature has long been secure, his writing studio remains in limbo.īut a fundraising effort to rescue the 14-by-22-foot building is underway. It was moved there a few years ago, more than a decade after the writer’s death in 2005, by Rebecca Miller, with the idea of eventually donating it to the town of Roxbury. His autobiography, Timebends, was also written in the cedar-shingle studio.ĭespite its literary significance, the studio sits in a far less exalted location today: propped up in a roadside municipal parking lot in Roxbury alongside a dumpster and truck plows. It was also where he wrote screenplays for The Crucible and The Misfits, a film that starred Monroe and Clark Gable. Miller penned more than a dozen stage plays inside that studio, including After the Fall and Playing for Time. Those were some of his most productive years as a writer. ![]() “My father wrote in the studio every morning and some afternoons,” says Miller’s daughter, Rebecca, the filmmaker and novelist who profiled her father in the 2018 HBO documentary Arthur Miller: Writer.
