ACT Theatre Community Reading of "The Price" by Arthur Miller

A family secret

could cost you everything.

Two grown brothers get a hard lesson in truth and consequences. After taking separate paths in life, their versions of family history collide when they meet after 16 years to settle their late father's estate. The New York Times says, "The Price is one of the most engrossing and entertaining plays that Arthur Miller has ever written."

Victor Franz - A police sergeant, eligible for retirement and

approaching his fiftieth birthday. The character is based on Irving Abrams,

Miller's childhood friend, who attended Columbia University, had the highest IQ

on the NYC police force, and became a photographer after his retirement. Abrams

was also a superb tennis player.

Esther Franz - Victor's wife, it is suggested that Esther may have

a problem with drinking.

Gregory Solomon - A wily Russian-Jewish antique dealer, nearly

ninety years old.

Walter Franz - Victor's brother, a successful doctor Victor hasn't

spoken to in years.
