STAGE TUBE: First Look at Highlights of THE PRICE at Mark Taper Forum with Kate Burton, Sam Robards & More!

The Center Theatre Group / Mark Taper Forum production of "The Price" by Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award and National Medal of Honor-winner Arthur Miller, is a penetrating family drama by one of America's greatest dramatists. The play opened at Mark Taper Forum on February 21. Check out a first look at highlights below!

Directed by Tony Award-winner ("The Beauty Queen of Leenane") Garry Hynes, this poignant story about the cost of choices made over a lifetime will feature John Bedford Lloyd, Sam Robards and the previously announced Kate Burton and Alan Mandell.

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.

An American classic, "The Price" first opened on Broadway in 1968. The plays of Arthur Miller (1915-2005) include "The Man Who Had All the Luck" (1944), "All My Sons" (1947), "Death of a Salesman" (1949), "The Crucible" (1953), "A View From the Bridge" and "A Memory of Two Mondays" (1955), "After the Fall" and "Incident at Vichy" (1964), "The Price" (1968), "The Creation of the World and Other Business" (1972), "The Archbishop's Ceiling" (1977) and "The American Clock" (1980), among others. He wrote the screenplay for "The Misfits" (1960), and several books including three with his wife, photographer Inge Morath. He received countless awards including the Pulitzer Prize (for "Death of a Salesman"), three Tony Awards as well as a Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement, two Emmy Awards, and the John F.
