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

Description
In 1968, while stationed in Vietnam, Lt. Robert Mac (Taylor’s father) placed an ad asking “young ladies” to write him. Thousands replied. Renowned theatre artist Taylor Mac uses those letters, songs, and his own text to juxtapose his father’s army life in Texas with his own as a drag/pastiche artist in New York.
