This must be Arthur Miller's most pessimistic play, and it's great. It's not every review that I open with a lyric, but that one seemed appropriate. It's good, fine dialogue, and I of course read it through my life as I have brothers, I had a father, all that history and love and tension between us, in some ways, so I get it, but it's not as compelling as Miller's greatest plays. Victor's wife Esther acts a bit like a chorus, or moderator in what is- given the huge political events of 1967/68, a family drama about two brothers and their father. So there's the price of all this stuff, all of which has meaning for them, but then there's the price Victor paid in giving up schooling for his father as his older brother went on to get rich. He and his estranged older brother Walter get together to sell their father’s estate and look back at their lives and choices and different paths. I heard it this time from LA Theater Works audio, with Richard Dreyfus in the leading role of Victor, who as a young man had given up going to college to support his father, who is now dead. Scott not one of Miller’s best plays, but he’s one of America's best playwrights so it's still powerful. شربیانیĪ 1967 play by Arthur Miller I actually saw on tv in 1971 (!) with, I think, George C.
The Price was nominated for two Tony Awards, including best play. As they sort through his possessions in an old brownstone attic, the memories evoked by his belongings stir up old hostilities.
Years after an angry breakup, Victor and Walter Franz are reunited by the death of their father. It is about family dynamics, the price of furniture and the price of one's decisions. The Price is a 1968 play by Arthur Miller.
