The Price

Bay Theatre Company
275 West St Annapolis

This brilliant, powerful and deeply moving play examines with compassion, humor and insight, the relationship of two long-estranged brothers. After sixteen years, the brothers, one a policeman, the other a prominent surgeon, meet in the attic of the family residence, where the furniture is being disposed of. Through confrontation, memory, bitterness, and alienation, taut exciting and superbly dramatic scenes reveal the lives of this family in one of Miller’s most engrossing and entertaining plays.

"...The price of used furniture is nothing but a viewpoint. Much like the conflicting viewpoints caught between two estranged brothers after sixteen years of not speaking to one another. You'll find plenty of viewpoints wrapped up in this drama as Bay Theatre Company closes out their season with Arthur Miller's The Price. Directed by Steven Carpenter, this drama drives home the importance of familial binding ties when two brothers who have not spoken in over a decade cross paths in the attic of their childhood home. What ensues is a tightly wound emotional purge of past wounds and broken family bonds; drawing you into the Franz family darkness with a gripping reality that is easily applicable to the collective everyman family. A solid and engaging piece of emotional acting in a tight cast of four talented actors does Miller's work a great justice."

"...Bay Theatre Company in Annapolis caps its 2012-2013 season with Arthur Miller's "The Price," a play that may be among the lesser-known of his works but nonetheless strikes a nerve with contemporary audiences."

"...The Price is a deeply moving work of Arthur Miller's that is lesser known than his other plays. This production strikes a chord on many levels in reference to family dynamics. The roads we take and the choices we make, and maybe not realizing the impact until all is said and done."
