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

Small place, no seating issues.

Turn left past the theatre, lots of pretty well lit street parking.

Street unmetered. In worst case you park a long block away on Vine.

If you don't like thought plays, if you do not like studying the path of life, if you do not like looking too far ahead or the proposition that your opinions now may not be yours in 20 years.... and if you don't want to stare at the inevitable collapse that life is aimed at, you may dislike this play. If you like superb acting, gallows humor and a dry eyed look at reality then this may be your kind of experience.Written on Nov 13 2009
I lost track of Albee decades ago and considered him someone who was all the rage of in the post Absurd or something like that. It is nice to see that that was wrong. This excellent work performed by 3 fine actresses on a static set for 2 hours is the counter argument to all action in theater. They just talk. Held together by the riveting Eve it is a treatise on mortality and illusion in the current age. When are we happiest? Do things get better or worse? Are we always self deluded? Does it matter? If this is life why bother? Then again why not bother? You won't get answers from Albee unless you believe that ending is it. Then again do you expect answers except from charlatans and hucksters? Just like the Tall Women we are stuck with what is. Might be a good reason to go see a good play.

Again, sorry I'm writing this after the fact, but we both felt that although Albee is not our guru, this play was heartfelt, poignant...great theater!Written on Dec 03 2009

Description
In this haunting and sometimes hilarious play, we meet three women facing and embracing life’s travails and disappointments. As each woman’s true identity is revealed, we discover the true genius of America’s most intriguing contemporary playwright.
With his trademark wit and lack of sentimentality, Albee offers us an unblinking portrait of contemporary women – how they live, how they love, what they settle for, and how they die.
A multiple Drama Critics, Lucille Lortel and Outer Critics Circle award-winner, Three Tall Women is an electrifying examination on loss and our ability to go on.
