It may be surprising to many that the two great pillars of 20th century American playwriting, Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams, were enormously popular in the Damascus theatre scene, and the Arab World in general, when their plays were translated and adapted into Arabic. Riad Ismat, a well-known Syrian playwright and director, shares his thoughts and recollections about interpreting Miller and Williams for Arab audiences.
