"The Price is one of the most engrossing and entertaining plays that Miller has ever written." - The New Uork TimesWhen patriarch of the Franz family dies, his two sons return home to dispose of the furniture crammed in his attic: one is a successful surgeon, the other gave up everything to support their father following the Great Depression. As the pair sort through these abandoned belongings, frustrations, secrets and surprise guests are uncovered.With its touching and farcical presentation of American life beyond the Vietnam War and Great Depression, The Price is widely recognised as one of Miller's major works, earning him a Tony Award nomination in 1968.This Methuen Drama Student Edition is edited by Yuko Kurahashi, with commentary and notes that explore the play's production history (including excerpts from interviews with the director and designers of the 2017 Arena Stage production) as well as the dramatic, thematic and academic debates that surround it.

Recenzii

One of Miller's best plays: an exploration of our need for sustaining illusions because, as he himself wrote, the truth is too terrible to face ... But what finally makes the play moving is Miller's honesty in recognising that we are all, to a large extent, the authors of our own lives.
The Price is one of the most engrossing and entertaining plays that Miller has ever written. It is superbly, even flamboyantly, theatrical ... and Miller holds the interest with the skill of a born story-teller. But, of course, the story itself is over. It is typical of Miller's approach here that nothing does, and nothing possibly could, happen in The Price. The action has ended before the play starts, and we the audience have been brought here to listen to the explanations, to comprehend how these men by the choices of their youth have come to be what they are.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

In a building slated for imminent demolition, two brothers, long estranged, reunite to sell off their family's possessions. In short time the transaction draws in one man's wife and an ancient but still wily furniture dealer. And a crowded attic becomes the setting for an acrid, funny, and moving inquest into the wounds of family, the allure of the disposable, and the nature of human failure.
