Two actors take on innumerable dramatis personae in Charles Ludlam's high-camp quick-change act. Vep satirizes all that is ridiculous in Gothic horror, Victorian melodrama, classic film, and conventional theater--and it's also a contender for the funniest American play of the last quarter-century.

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

Full Price:
$25.00
Our Price:
$12.50

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

Lots of humor and enjoyed the quick wit & costume changes.
The staging and acting was lite, but well done.
We thoroughly enjoyed the play and would highly recommend watching it.

Stellar production of a show you may never have a chance to see again. Acting is skilled and impressive. Timing is perfect. Director has added many touches to make this show his very own artistic winner. Costuming worth a trip in itself. We had lots of fun and plan to recommend to our theater friends.

Crazy fun - only two players with so many costume changes was amazing. All of our group enjoyed recognizing the references to other material, from Shakespeare to modern movies.
