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.

There is a good reason this play is rarely produced: it is nearly unwatchable. Perhaps the directing and acting were adequate but not up to the task of overcoming the pedantic and plodding writing.Written on Apr 02 2012

Very uneven play with some interesting moments. The first act and the second act had very little to do with each other. The acting was overall good, but the lead was miscast. Nice staging and interesting use of the space and multimedia.Written on Apr 02 2012

Interminable first act (my wife and I left at intermission). The play went nowhere. It made little sense. It was a waste of time.Written on Mar 19 2012

Arthur Miller's late play is usually considered autobiographical, with the figure of the playwright changed into a lawyer and the actress and Miller's wife Marilyn Monroe changed into a singer. It's a notoriously difficult play to transform on stage because of the lawyer's frequent and self-reflective, philosophical musings. Fortunately, the lead was completely up to the challenge, and the ensemble work among the enormous cast (for a smaller venue) showed careful rehearsing and staging. A very fine evening of theater, which I'd gone to not knowing anything of reviews and only because of Goldstar's half-off price. So glad I did!Written on Apr 08 2012

Quotes & Highlights
- "After the Fall is considered a work of genius by many, and this is certainly the way to see it." --blogcritics.com
- "Mary Carrig is spot on as Quentin's unappeasably resentful first wife, and Jennefer Ludwigsen captures the vulnerable essence of his sex-kittenish, irreparably wounded second. Patrick Hancock drives home the predicament of his desperate blacklisted friend. Director Rozsa Horvath has mounted a commendably handsome production." --LA Weekly (Go!)
