About the Show

Two brothers confront family tensions while settling their late father’s estate.

On the eve of selling their late father’s belongings, two estranged brothers reunite in a cluttered New York attic after years apart. What begins as a practical task soon becomes an emotional confrontation, as long-held grievances, personal sacrifices, and unresolved tensions surface. The presence of an aging furniture dealer further complicates the encounter, turning a financial negotiation into a deeper reckoning with memory and responsibility.

This production of Arthur Miller’s play is directed by Jonathan Munby (King Lear, Long Day’s Journey Into Night).

Critic Reviews (6)

"The reckoning at the end – where the price paid by all the characters is calculated – seems inevitable yet Miller springs constant surprises."

"You end up wondering why this angry, plaintive and deeply psychological play is not more often revived."

"Jonathan Munby’s production relishes every detail. Though perhaps a touch too spry, Goodman, 76, nevertheless steals the first half as the endearing interloper, by turns calculating, stoical, impatient, and roguishly eccentric"

"Miller's script crackles with sharp, uncomfortable insights and unspoken, long-nurtured grievances."

"Nobody strips bare carefully constructed characters and the downside of the American Dream like Arthur Miller, and if this isn't one of his absolute best, it's still a damn satisfying evening in the theatre"

"There’s some seriously meaty material here about how we take ownership of our lives when value is relative. Even a lesser Miller is greater than most."
