The play's failure nearly derailed Miller's career, and it remained one of his least-known works until 1990, when the Bristol Old Vic staged "The Man Who Had All The Luck" with Iain Glen in the lead role. The production was directed by Paul Unwin. It later transferred to the Young Vic in London. In 2000, director Dan Fields mounted a production that ran for seven weeks at the Ivy Substation theater in Culver City, California. The following year, a production was staged by the Williamstown Theatre Festival, which had presented the American premiere of Miller's "The Ride Down Mt. Morgan".
