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.

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.
