June 2005: The Price Arthur Miller's play that reminds us how wealth drives society and the individual — a searing examination of sibling rivalry. The play is directed by Leah Stoller.

Scene - The attic of a New York City house, cluttered with furniture and furnishings from another period in time. This is the setting for an intense family drama, a head-on collision between two brothers — one, a policeman, who sacrificed his planned future to take care of a father broken by the depression; the other, a rich, successful doctor who abandoned the family to pursue his own future in medicine.

But this is Arthur Miller, so it is not a case of black and white, the good and the bad. What the playwright suggests is that each of us does his/her own thing for personal reasons and winds up with whatever life he/she has bought and paid the price for.

Our superb actors will portray the four characters in the play.
The two brothers —
• Arthur J. Fischer, most recently seen in Korczak's Children and remembered for his portrayal of the Ramban in The Disputation, will play the policeman.

• David Glickman, acclaimed for his evocation of Janusz Korczak in JEST's recent production Korczak's Children, will play his brother, the doctor.

• Gail Kirschner, who played the "ghostly" mother in last season's What's Wrong With This Picture? will play the policeman's wife.

• Marvin Meital, who played the dithering grandfather in the same play, takes on another elderly role as the furniture dealer.
