This Student Edition of Miller's play The Price is perfect for
students of literature and drama and offers an unrivalled guide to
Miller's classic play. It features an extensive introduction by
Jane K. Dominik which includes: a chronology of Miller's life and
times; a summary of the plot and commentary on the characters,
themes, language, context and production history of the play.
Together with over twenty questions for further study and detailed
notes on words and phrases from the text, this is the definitive
edition of the play. Premiering on Broadway in 1968, The Price ran
for over 400 performances and earned Miller the New York Drama
Critics Circle Award. Like Death of a Salesman and After the Fall,
it is a memory play, but one presented as an escalating argument
within a traditional, realistic structure. The play concerns two
brothers who must return to the home of their deceased father prior
to its destruction to dispose of the furniture crammed into the
attic. Exhibiting many features characteristic of Miller's work
including sibling rivalry, confrontation with the past and with
their memories, the effects of the Great Depression and the war in
Vietnam, the pursuit of a dream, and the responsibility one must
assume for one's own life, The Price is recognised as one of
Miller's major works.
