The Price
March 31 - April 26, 2015
Alder Stage
By Arthur Miller
Directed By Adriana Baer
Designs by Resident Artists Kristeen Willis Crosser & Sharath Patel
In this seldom-seen masterpiece, two estranged brothers must sift through a lifetime of their deceased father’s possessions as they negotiate with a mysterious buyer. Miller’s timeless classic unearths lifetimes of choices and emotional illusions to reveal the cost of living a life. This production of Arthur Miller’s last major play will commemorate his weighty influence in American theatre as 2015 marks the centennial of the playwright’s birth.

” The Price is like listening to a classic piece of chamber music you haven’t heard in a long time…”
“Put four fine actors on stage with the words of one of America’s greatest playwrights, and something splendid is bound to happen. And that’s exactly what is taking place in Artists Repertory Theatre’s production of Arthur Miller’s The Price“
“Social realism, absurdist tragi-comedy, and Greek tragedy are all rolled into one — a complex, evocative combination that director Adriana Baer skillfully negotiates”
“It is classic Miller expertly performed by a tight, virtuosic ensemble…The ensemble fuels one another throughout this barreling freight train, and Adriana Baer’s direction disappears effortlessly, allowing these powerhouse actors and Miller’s well-crafted text to have center stage.”
