Play review - "The Price" by Arthur Miller

 Listened to LATW version with Richard Dreyfuss and Amy Irving. The play was profiled in William Goldman's The Season. Two brothers sort through their dead father's furniture - one kind of wasted his life being a cop out of security and has an unhappy wife the other became a successful doctor but cracked up. The themes spoke to me - bout wondering whether you made a right choice, decisions missed, lack of money, finding purpose. It doesn't really build like other Miller classics - I think because it doesn't naturally go to someone's death. It was his last hit play - the Jewish audience especially responded to it.
