After the Fall: Rarely Produced Classic by Arthur Miller from HumanArts Theater Company

Based on the playwright's life and considered one of Arthur Miller's most personal plays, After The Fall follows a man on his quest to make peace with his own history and with the tumultuous world around him. This experimental portrait of a man struggling with the choices he has made in his public and private life examines the personal, political and universal forces that collide when we "fall" from innocence. Following the death of his second wife, Quentin tries to move forward, but he must also relive childhood losses, failed marriages and the effects of the 1950s' Blacklist. This rarely produced classic is presented by the HumanArts Theater Company. Learn More

Poor script. Not enough emotion and everying was just too neatly wrapped up.Written on Dec 26 2007

It is an interesting story that will peak your curiosity but it fails to deliver the intensity that I would think would accompany such revelations - it really never gets above the emotional level of any of the Hardy Boy mysteries referenced in the play.Written on Jan 23 2008

The play is a first run at Steppenwolf. It is a good story but as every first run, needs a bit of tweaking.Written on Feb 11 2008
