"The resounding authenticity of playwright Arthur Miller's voice has left an indelible legacy on the American stage," says Artistic Director, Jim Petosa. "We are proud to bring this Boston area premiere to our stage during the nationwide celebration of his 100th birthday and to share one of his last and most revealing plays with our audiences. As we begin a season in which we explore the fundamental elements of personal identity, I can think of few better playwrights with whom to begin this exploration than Arthur Miller."

"New Repertory Theatre has the great privilege to welcome back each of the six actors in the first production of our 2015-2016 Season," says Managing Director, Harriet Sheets. "Audiences will be delighted to once again see these remarkable performers grace our stage, and bring to life the extraordinary words of legendary playwright Arthur Miller. Under our season title of IDENTITY, audiences will be treated to some of the most engaging, personal, and touching works New Rep has ever produced, and we look forward to sharing those works with new and returning members of the New Rep community this year."

This powerful, Olivier Award-winning, and Tony-nominated drama is presented as part of a national celebration of the centennial of the birth of playwright Arthur Miller. It is November 11, 1938, the day after Kristallnacht, when Sylvia Gellburg loses the ability to walk. Her husband Phillip desperately seeks to find the cause. After consulting Dr. Harry Hyman, it's determined that her paralysis may have been psychosomatically induced. Hyman's obsession with curing Sylvia uncovers a complex tangle of egos, resentment, and guilt, as well as Phillip's own paralyzing struggle with his Jewish identity.
