The Price - Arthur Miller

Every major decision comes at a price. Arthur Miller’s masterful play seems to have been written about the decisions we are called upon to make today in crisis-torn Greece. What do you do when everything around you is falling apart? Do you cast aside your dreams and just try to survive? Or do you pursue your dreams and ignore the needs of your family? The Price stands nimbly between the two alternatives that come to determine the course of a lifetime. It stands nimbly on the line which each of us at some point has to draw between what we owe to others and what we owe to ourselves. The show teaches, mocks, punishes, forgives, and teases the consciences of its heroes and the audience with a disarming psychoanalysis that takes place 30 years after the fateful decision. "If you look at the past with bravery you may be freed." The heroes and the audience are armed for two hours with this bravery, in a performance that brings us face to face with the price of each of our decisions but also closer to what we actually need.
