The Price

By Arthur Miller

About the play

Two estranged brothers, one a policeman who sacrificed his education to care for his invalid father, the other an eminent surgeon who walked out on family to concentrate on personal success, meet to settle their father’s estate and arrange its sale.

Amid the belongings of their once-wealthy father, old hostilities and grudges resurface as they confront the truth about their past, the choices they made, and the legacy they now face.

Arthur Miller’s compelling story of property, ambition and the burden of family duty remains as relevant as when it was first produced in 1968.
