The Price
The title of Arthur Miller's drama (1968) points in various directions, none of them fixed. During the Depression, Victor abandoned his dream of becoming a doctor and cared for his ailing father; brother Walter went to med. school. Now, 16 years after the father died, the appraisal of his old furniture dredges up the price the brothers paid for their choices. The play moves in authorial nudges, for almost three hours, and the Old Globe's sketchy opening night led to chins on hands and seat-squirming. It eventually caught the fish, but that bait was a long time in the water. It didn't help that Dominic Chianese — unforgettable as Uncle Junior in The Sopranos — was barely off-book. James Sutorius gave a fine, honest turn as Walter, erstwhile evil brother redeemed by a vision of anti-materialism — and not fully recovered from a nervous breakdown.
