Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman has been performed in many countries, but Turkish audiences seem to have a special attachment to the play, especially in Erzurum, where it has been performed many times at Atatürk University. I attended one memorable performance there some years ago, and on a recent visit to Erzurum, I learned that a staging of Miller’s The Crucible was being planned. It will be interesting to see how The Crucible, about conflicts between justice and religious vision in Puritan America centuries ago, will be received by a contemporary Turkish audience
