In THE PRICE Arthur Miller examines not only the relationships between family members but also the essence of the relationship we create with ourselves. Victor (Mark Ruffalo) is in the process of disposing of his deceased father’s property. As he and his wife (Jessica Hecht) wait for Victor’s estranged brother Walter (Tony Shalhoub) to perhaps show up, they begin negotiations with furniture dealer Gregory Solomon (Danny DeVito). When Walter finally shows up, old wounds are opened, and everyone is left questioning whether the price we pay for choices made is far too high.

This is a brilliant play with a power-packed cast. DeVito is both a scene stealer and a bit of comic relief who occasionally spouts profound wisdom. Ruffalo is poignant and relatable as the long-suffering brother, and Shaloub is the brother you want to hate but just can’t justify the enmity. Hecht’s conflict as she struggles between loyalty and a way out of current circumstances is on target. Together these actors make THE PRICE well worth the cost of a ticket.
