Add to a movie listA Memory of Two Mondays is a one-act play by Arthur Miller.
Based on Miller's own experiences, the play focuses on a group of desperate workers earning their livings in a Brooklyn automobile parts warehouse during the Great Depression in the 1930s, a time of 25 percent unemployment in the United States. Concentrating more on character than plot, it explores the dreams of a young man yearning for a college education in the midst of people stumbling through the workday in a haze of hopelessness and despondency. Three of the characters in the story have severe problems with alcoholism.
Paired with the original one-act version of A View from the Bridge, the first Broadway production, directed by Martin Ritt, opened on September 29, 1955 at the Coronet Theatre, where it ran for 149 performances. The cast included Van Heflin, J. Carrol Naish, Jack Warden, Eileen Heckart, and Richard Davalos, who won the Theatre World Award for his performance.
In 1959, Miller adapted the play for an ITV broadcast starring Alan Bates.
Miller adapted the play for a 1971 television movie directed by Paul Bogart. The cast included George Grizzard, Barnard Hughes, Estelle Parsons, Catherine Burns, Jerry Stiller, J. D. Cannon, Harvey Keitel, Tony Lo Bianco, Kristoffer Tabori, Dick Van Patten, and Jack Warden.
After seven previews, a Broadway revival directed by Arvin Brown opened on January 26, 1976 at the Playhouse Theatre where, paired this time with 27 Wagons Full of Cotton by Tennessee Williams, it ran for 67 performances. The cast included Thomas Hulce, John Lithgow, Tony Musante, Meryl Streep, and Joe Grifasi.
