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.

Even though it is a revival from many years past, the story is still an appropriate one for today: It is best to be true to yourself. Audra McDonald is amazing! The entire cast is great. I am so glad that I was able to see this limited time production before it closed. My Goldstar seats were fabulous, orchestra front and center!!
Thanks!

Description

In the middle of a heat wave in 1930s Texas, when everyone is longing for rain, or a breeze, Lizzie Curry (Audra McDonald) is on the verge of becoming a hopeless old maid. Her wit, intelligence and skills as a homemaker can't make up for the fact that she can't find true love. Even the town sheriff, for whom she harbors a secret yen, won't take a chance. However, when a charismatic rainmaker named Starbuck (Steve Kazee) enters the town and her family's life, Lizzie's world is turned upside down.

Four-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald returns to the Broadway stage, having most recently won a Tony for her performance in the 2004 Broadway revival of A Raisin in the Sun. Broadway veteran and two-time Tony Award winner John Cullum returns to Roundabout as H. C. Curry, having last starred in Arthur Miller's All My Sons during the 1996-1997 season. Steve Kazee returns to the Broadway stage after starring as Sir Lancelot in Monty Python's Spamalot. Director Lonny Price returns to Roundabout Theatre Company having recently directed the 2003 Broadway revival of Master Harold...and the Boys starring Danny Glover.
