What's The Price Like?

The Price is a 1968 play written by the great American playwright Arthur Miller. When it premiered on Broadway, it was nominated for two Tony Awards, including Best Play and Best Scenic Design. It has since been revived three times: in 1979, 1992 and 1999. Arthur Miller wrote The Price in the prime of his career. In the two decades prior to completing this work in 1968, he had a string of successes with All My Sons (1947), Death of a Salesman (1949), The Crucible (1953), A View from the Bridge (1955), A Memory of Two Mondays (1955), and After the Fall (1964). In the able hands of director Terry Kinney, the co-founder of Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago, this production of The Price is not to be missed.
