A man is a jellyfish. The tide goes in and the tide goes out. About what happens to him, a man has very little to say. Everything David Beeves touches turns to gold. He has a beautiful home and a loving wife, loyal friends and a thriving business. But as those around him trip and fall, David struggles to understand his fate. What if his Midas touch, like the flip of a coin or the pull of the tide, is nothing more than good luck?

A man is a jellyfish. The tide goes in and the tide goes out. About what happens to him, a man has very little to say. Everything David Beeves touches turns to gold. He has a beautiful home and a loving wife, loyal friends and a thriving business. But as those around him trip and fall, David struggles to understand his fate. What if his Midas touch, like the flip of a coin or the pull of the tide, is nothing more than good luck? The Man Who Had All the Luck was Arthur Miller's first play to be produced, premiering in New York in November 1944. Searching philosophical and vehemently political, in intimates so much that will take centre-stage in his better-known work for decades to come. This edition was published to coincide with the revival at the King's Head Theatre, London, in September 2015 in Miller's centenary year.

The Man Who Had All the Luck by Arthur Miller tells the story of David who is cursed with tremendously good luck. It freaks him out. He's surrounded by friends and relatives who experience set backs. David never does. The universe seems to clear a path for him at every turn. He can't make sense of this. He feels that fate will eventually catch up with him.
Miller examines how people view fate, whether Americans can avoid the beliefs found in Asia and Europe that there's a Wheel of Fortune of some kind. This early play foreshadows how the playwright will develop, how he will continue to grapple with luck and a hero's view of his own success.
