Τρίτο θεατρικό έργο του Άρθουρ Μίλερ που διαβάζω, μετά τα 'Ο θάνατος του εμποράκου' και 'Ψηλά απ'τη γέφυρα' που διάβασα πέρυσι, μου φάνηκε και αυτό αρκετά ενδιαφέρον και καλογραμμένο, με συγκεκριμένα σχόλια για τις ανθρώπινες σχέσεις γενικότερα αλλά και τις οικογενειακές ειδικότερα. Πρόκειται για ένα σαφώς δραματικό έργο, με κάποιες πικρές και δύσκολες αλήθειες για τους συμμετέχοντες χαρακτήρες. Οι διάλογοι είναι πολύ φυσικοί και ανθρώπινοι, ενώ η όλη ατμόσφαιρα ίσως κάπως καταθλιπτική. Θα έλεγα..more

'Well you live, and you die. Didn't mean a thing.
Didn't you just waste all your time?'
--Modern Castles, by Digital Leather
It's not every review that I open with a lyric, but that one seemed appropriate. This must be Arthur Miller's most pessimistic play, and it's great. Everything from the brevity to the set design amplifies the dramatic impact of the climax, and then the denouement-- a return to the absurd normalcy of denial-- seems painfully realistic. I ha..more

I usually enjoy Arthur Miller's work, but this one didn't really work for me.
The Price is a two act play that takes place in the same scene. Victor and Esther Franz are selling off furniture that once belonged to Victor's father. When his brother Walter shows up, the play takes a turn from talking about the monetary price, and the metaphorical one we pay for the ones we love.
The book was just a play about three angry characters that felt scorned by each of the other ones. Solomon was just trying..more

یک خانه ی مستهلک و یک عالم اثاثیه .. همه چیز درباره ی این نمایش نامه در همین دو عنصر نهفته است .. دو برادر پس از سالها دوری و افتراق برای فروش وسایل خانه پدری به هم میرسند .. یکی موفق ، ثروتمند و بی قید و دیگری متوسط ، پوچ و اخلاق گرا .. برادران به شیوه ای نزدیک به شیوه ی هابیل و قابیل شروع به خانه تکانی می کنند ..

Miller puts his characters right at the brink of tragedy and rakes up a confrontation where the involved people are at their most vulnerable. Having lost their father, Walter and Victor reunite after decade of silence and go toe-to-toe with the choices they ended up making over the course of their lives.
The play starts with a furniture appraiser trying to make way with a lesser quote as Victor explains the pieces owned by his parents. Quickly understanding the dynamic between Victor and his wif..more

'The Price' of the title is the legacy of the past. The past is dotted with choices, and the results of these choices govern the present.
'You have to make decisions,' as one of the characters says here, 'and you never know what's what until it's too late.'

3.5 This is one of the few Miller plays I hadn't read or seen, but the imminent Broadway revival impelled me to check it out. Am actually a bit surprised any producers would venture to mount it these days (although both recent NYC Miller revivals did well, I guess). The work, although a classic example of the 'well-made play', is very talky and didactic, and a wee bit inscrutable, as people talk AROUND the main issues without them ever becoming crystal clear (at least to me) .. but I guess they..more

People who love money don’t give it away.
When our parents die. This novel is about when our parents die. Siblings turn against each other because of money. Others use it as the time to catch up and see one another. Depressing. The scene opens with Victor and Esther. The former has not talked with his brother for 16 years. Walter, that is his brother’s name. He is successful, influential, and selfish. He is the one who does not give money away easily. Family dynamics. Esther is Victor’s wife..more

'The Price' is my favorite of all the plays I've read by Arthur Miller thus far. Within this drama, the characters are flawed, contradictory, disturbed, frustrated, in denial, good, and bad. Because I'm the same age as the protagonist / antagonist, Victor, I viscerally relate to the dilemma / mid-life crisis he's experiencing. Is it too late for that second chance--too late for Victor to actually make something of himself as he conceived when he was young and not so disillusioned? There's not mu..more

THE PRICE. (1968). Arthur Miller. ****.
Said to be Miller’s most successful play on Broadway since “Death of a Salesman,” this drama focuses on the long-standing separation of two brothers as they prepare to sell off their dead father’s furniture and other possessions. The father had died a few years before, but the city was about to tear down the apartment building where he had lived. Victor, the younger brother, a policeman, was in the apartment, and was taking the necessary final steps to off..more

In this two-act play, brothers Victor and Walter Franz, estranged for sixteen years, meet to dispose of their parents' belongings; the setting is the attic of a brownstone slated for demolition, peripheral characters are Esther, Victor's wife, and Gregory Solomon, the aging dealer who has come to make them an offer for the furniture.
Walter and Victor have led very different lives, the former as a wealthy and successful surgeon, the latter as a police officer struggling to make ends meet. But Vic..more

This play is about two brothers who come together to sell the family furniture to an antique dealer in Manhattan after their father's death. Victor is a policeman who gave up his college education in science to take care of his father after the stock market crash. Walter is a successful doctor who went on with his schooling, contributed almost nothing to help his father, but felt that his father had plenty of savings that he was not touching. Each brother is looking at the past and their father'..more

This play explores the humanity of the two brothers who both come from different moral dilemmas. What each want is to reclaim the opportunities lost to time and to shake off the regret and guilt that they both harbor. That's impossible of course, so in the face of this impossibility they rage at each other to avoid the crushing reality of the harsh truth.
I would love to see this play performed.

التصوير المسرحي فيها فوق الوصف
حقيقة شئ خيالي
بس هو بيوصلك في النهاية ان في ناس بيحبوا يجيبوا شماعة ويعلقوا عليها كل حياتهم الفاشلة
والشماعة دي مالهاش وجود أساساً
والغريب ان هما لما بيتأكدوا ان مالهاش وجود مبيقدروش بردو يستغنوا عنها لانهم مش هيقدروا يواجهوا نفسهم بالحقيقة
وأنا أحب أقوله ان ده حال كل المصريين والعرب يا باشا

When first introduced to this play I had dangerously assumed that it would be an easy read and concluded that the material was too 'on the surface' to enjoy. Once I read it, however, I discovered I was completely wrong. This play is intellectually enticing, displaying the complex family relationships in humanity and their changed after the Great Depression.

When a family member dies, the items left over represent more than just furniture and knickknacks. For Victor and his brother Walter, there was a price paid for everything but the cost was much more significant. The two must overcome their bitterness in order to settle the estate of their dead parents but they find that the past has a way of creeping into the present in life-altering ways.

In a soon to be demolished family house, two brothers meet after many years to dispose of their dead parent's property. The resulting confrontation leads them to examine the events and qualities of their very different lives and the price that each of them has had to pay.

A great play for two men. A tale of lost brotherly love, expectations lost, and unknown responsibilities. Throw in a 90 year old Russian-Jew for laughs and you got yourself an entertaining read.

I didn't actually read it, I saw the play. It's a good play that makes us think of what really matters in life. Is it the career? Is it family? Is it money? What is it?
:) Good job, Mr. Miller!

The honest conversations are the most difficult to have and just as difficult to hear, but Arthur Miller makes his characters so approachable.

I found the plot in this one a little boring, but I liked it because there were only four characters in the play. Reading wise, this makes it easier for me to follow.

The Price Arthur Miller Movie

Most of Arthur miller’s plays such as “A View from the Bridge”, “The Crucible”, “All My Sons”, “Death of a Salesman” etc. are categorized as modern tragedies; the struggles of the everyday man; focusing on the dark side of the American dream. “All my Sons” is a classic play, about guilt, responsibility, and the relationship between father and sons in the aftermath of a World War II corruption, when two brothers dispose of their parents' estate, their divergent attitudes and dispositions become i..more

I would give this book 3-1/2 stars if I could. I have been to many, many plays over the years and kept thinking in the back of my mind in regards to Act One, how uneventful, how unexciting and how would it possibly fill up 2 hours or even the 1-1/2 hours on stage? But into the Second Act, it all came together. We learn the complexes of the character's relationships with one another, with their father, with their wives and why it is what it is today because of what took place in their past. It wa..more

Touching, hilarious and very very sharp. The first act feels more light-hearted than the second but it sets the scene well for the take down of family narratives and justifications - the choices we make and the way we justify them, weaving them into a lifetime of narrative. We saw a great production of this in Seattle.
The Polish furniture dealer adds much comedy, but also welds the knife:
'My boy, you don't know the psychology! It it wouldn't break there is no more possibilities. For instance, y..more

I re read this and am still of the opinion there is too much talking about the past between the characters instead of concentrating of the now. Two brothers meet to dispose of their late father's belongings to a dealer. The brothers have their own versions of events concerning the finances of their father as Victor a policeman didn't have the chance his brother Walter did to go to college. Esther is Victor's wife and it feels at times she is a sounding board for Solomon the dealer and Victor. On..more
