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

Two great performances by the male leads. They were so good that on a very spartan stage with few props you really got an almost cinematic feeling. The publicity empahasizes the "surprise". I thought that it was pretty easy to figure out the twist by the end of the 1st act. The true surprise was the outstanding acting that drew you in after the first few scenes.Written on Nov 01 2009

We went for the preview, which doesn't quite seem like a fair way to review a play, but nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed it. I would imagine this play will evolve with it's performances, since even on it's first run with an audience the acting was very good and the accents convincing. The sets and costuming are sparse, to say the least, but still effective. The story itself is somewhat predictable, but still a good ghost story for the season.Written on Oct 26 2009

Description
The second longest-running show in London is finally getting a San Francisco production! Young Arthur Kipps is a solicitor sent to a remote house on England’s bleak coast. Here, Mrs. Alice Drablow, a stern and cruel woman, lived and died. Unaware of the tragic secrets that lie behind the shuttered windows, Kipps struggles to sort out her estate amid a flurry of unexplained happenings. The locals believe the house is cursed and refuse to talk about the mysterious woman in black who lurks in the marshes. But when he is forced to spend a night alone in the mansion, cut off from the mainland by the rising tide, the horrifying truth reveals itself.
