reviewed National Abjection: The Asian American Body Onstage on December 16, 2011 National Abjection: The Asian American Body Onstage
A 1967 play by Arthur Miller I actually saw on tv in 1971 (!) with, I htink, George C. Scott; not one of his best plays, but it's one of America's best playwrights so it's still powerful. I heard it this time from LA Theater Works audio, with Richard Dreyfus in th eleading role of Victor, won as a young manhad given up going to college to support his father, who is now dead. He and his estranged older brother Walter get together to sell their fathers estate to Solomon.
So there's the price of all this stuff, all of which has meaning for them, but then there's the price Victor paid in giving up schooling for his father as his older brother went on to get rich. Victor's wife Esther acts a bit like a chorus, or moderator in what is-given the huge political evenst of 1967/68, a family drama about two brothers and their father. It's good fine dialogue, and I ahev brothers, I had a father, all that history and love and tension between us, in some ways, so I get it, but it's not as compelling as Miller's greatest plays.
