After the Fall: Rarely Produced Classic by Arthur Miller from HumanArts Theater Company

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 felt this was a great play and the performance was extremely done well. All three of the performers were great at their performance. It was as thou the you were sitting in your own front room having someone do a special performance for you. Great job and very glad we all went to see it...Written on Apr 05 2008
