Booking to 27 April 2019
David Suchet delivers a comic tour de force as a silver-tongued 90 year old furniture dealer in Arthur Miller’s ‘masterpiece’ (Daily Telegraph), The Price.
David Suchet, revisiting the work of Arthur Miller after his legendary award-winning performance in All My Sons, plays Gregory Solomon. He is joined by Olivier Award winner and BAFTA and Emmy nominated Brendan Coyle (Mr Bates in Downton Abbey), Adrian Lukis and Sara Stewart.
This 50th-anniversary production of Arthur Miller’s richly affecting play – which, like his better-known works, mines his preoccupation with the pleasures and perils of the American Dream – transfers from a sell-out run at the Theatre Royal Bath where it was hugely acclaimed by critics and audiences alike.
The Price is booking from 5 February 2019 until 27 April 2019 at the Wyndham’s Theatre, London.
WHAT’S THE STORY?
Two brothers, Victor and Walter Franz, one a New York cop nearing retirement, the other a successful surgeon meet for the first time in sixteen years to sell their family furniture stored in the attic of a condemned New York brownstone.
Revelation follows stunning revelation as each brother realises the price they have paid for heartbreaking decisions made decades earlier.
Overseeing the psychological battlefield is the wily veteran appraiser, Gregory Solomon, who has his own demons to conquer as well as securing the best possible price for the Franz family possessions.
