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

What a mess! There were some very good actors stuck with no script and poor direction. The whole thing felt improvised. A couple of performances were so over the top that they bordered on cartoon. It was a very bad directorial choice to have the "director" move all the performances to the very front of the thrust stage, since 3/4 of the audience viewed it from their backs. I actually felt bad for some of the people who seemed very talented and were wasted.Written on Dec 21 2009

I took my 92 year old father in the hopes it would rekindle memories of that era. Instead it rekindled his memory of bad writing and bad acting. I can't remember the last time I cringed at a performance. There is so much good material to draw on from that period and the only thing drawn was a blank. I'd suggest you draw a bath instead...Written on Dec 14 2009

I came expecting to revel in story and the nostalgia of old-time radio. Instead we saw a variety show, heavy handed at times but still enjoyable. I would have preferred more story. That was the strength of radio shows.Written on Jan 04 2010
