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.
