Premiering on Broadway in 1968, The Price won a Tony Award for best play. Like Death of a Salesman and After the Fall, it is a memory play, but one presented as an escalating argument within a traditional, realistic structure. The play exhibits many features characteristic of Miller's work: it focuses on a pair of brothers, and explores sibling rivalry, confrontation with the past and with their memories, the effects of the Great Depression and the war in Vietnam, the pursuit of a dream, and the responsibility one must assume for one's own life. The Price is recognised as one of Miller's major works and is frequently performed. This Student Edition is perfect for students of literature and drama, offering an unrivalled guide to Miller's classic play. It features an extensive introduction by Jane K. Dominik with a chronology of Miller's life and times; a plot summary and commentary on the characters, themes and language. Methuen Student Editions are expertly annotated texts of a wide range of plays from the modern and classic repertoires.
