Moving, funny and insightful, this Arthur Miller masterpiece is both a vivid portrayal of an all-American family and a penetrating exploration of the price that is paid in pursuit of the American dream.
Gregory Solomon, a 90 year-old New York city furniture dealer, is asked to put a price on an attic full of furniture. But he finds himself in the middle of an uneasy reunion between two long-estranged brothers: Vic, a police officer who sacrificed education and ambition to care for his ruined father; and Walter, now a wealthy surgeon, who chose to put himself first. Desperate for reconciliation after 20 bitter years, can the brothers finally come to terms with the past? And can they see that each has paid a price for the choices he has made?
Directed by Robin Herford whose legendary production of The Woman in Black has been a huge hit around the world.
