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

I'm not a big fan of plays, more of a musical type of person, but this play did keep me interested from beginning to end. I thought the cast did a good job in playing their roles and also using what they had of a stage. I was invited from a friend of mine in the cast.

My only negative comment was when I got to the theater I was rudly spoken to from one of the memebers of the production (I think it was the director, but I could be wrong). While I was in the lobby I had my iPhone out checking my email and a lady sitting at a table talking to her friend asked me if the phone I had was mine. When I told her it was, she said it was weird because she has the same looking phone. She then started to dig through her bag and asked her friend to call her phone as if I might had stolen hers. She said all this as I was standing there getting my ticket. This really ticked me off and made it very hard for me to enjoy the show because I kept thinking of how rude she was the entire time. Anyway this totally ruined my first experience at the fight club theater. I know it sounds like a stupid little thing to be angry about but the fact that she was part of the production that I had paid a ticket for to see really turned me off in seeing future plays with that production company. I realized she was part of the production when the friend she was talking to spoke to the audience before the start of the play and she also had a bag full of costumes/props. She also didn't sit in the audience during the show, so she defintely wasn't there to watch. Anyway, just a word of advice, treat your paying audience with a bit more of respect!

Description

<p>Charlie Gordon is a friendly, loveable mentally retarded adult who is unwittingly volunteered for a highly experimental operation that will make him a genius. Is it really a scientific breakthrough or just a case of Dr. Frankenstein creating another monster? We follow Charlie as he’s promoted in his job at the bakery, in front of the men who’ve worked there for years. We watch as he learns about love for the first time in his life and struggles with past memories that he never had to deal with as a retarded adult. We experience Charlie’s pain and confusion as the world appears to slowly turn against him until, finally, he can’t seem to understand anything that’s happening to him anymore. Faced with a grim realization of the future Charlie begins to set things right in his life and the life of those he loves, while there’s still time. “Flowers for Algernon” is a timeless love story about acceptance that will hopefully give you a more positive outlook on life.</p>
