Directed by Tony Award-winner ("The Beauty Queen of Leenane") Garry Hynes, this poignant story about the cost of choices made over a lifetime, features Kate Burton, John Bedford Lloyd, Alan Mandell and Sam Robards.
"The Price" also features set design by Matt Saunders, costume design by Terese Wadden, lighting design by James F. Ingalls and sound design by Cricket S. Myers. Casting is by Meg Fister and the production stage manager is David S. Franklin.
An American classic, "The Price" first opened on Broadway in 1968. Two brothers who haven't spoken to each other in 16 years come together to settle their late father's estate. Victor (played by Sam Robards), a police officer of 28 years, his brother, Walter (John Bedford Lloyd), a successful surgeon, and Victor's wife, Esther (Kate Burton), gather in the attic of the family's New York brownstone, where they are met by Solomon, a wise and wily antiques dealer (Alan Mandell). It is not only years of accumulation of family belongings that need sorting out, but also the hidden motives that long ago fractured the brothers' relationship.
Tickets for "The Price" are available by calling (213) 628-2772 or visiting online at www.CenterTheatreGroup.org. Tickets range from $25 - $85 (ticket prices are subject to change). The Mark Taper Forum is located at the Music Center, 135 N. Grand Avenue in Downtown L.A. 90012.
