“The two brothers are similar to Biff and Happy in ‘Death of a Salesman,’ and there are certainly connections to some of his other plays. “The more you look into Miller, the more you see a reflection of his earlier plays in ‘The Price,’” said Browne, who is teaching world theater history as an adjunct professor at Siena College. “It’s certainly not as well known as his other plays, but there’s a lot of depth to the issues the characters are dealing with, and the idea of the brothers trying to reconcile and asking themselves, ‘What are the prices we pay for the decisions we make in our lives?’ is pretty current and relevant for today.” “But the play is quite compelling,” Browne said. “It’s written during a different time period and the speeches, the individual monologues, tend to run a bit longer,” said Browne, who recently moved to the Capital Region after two years of teaching theater at the University of Wisconsin and two more years at the Community College of Qatar. “The Price,” wrote Barnes, “is one of the most engrossing and entertaining plays that Miller has ever written.” Bruce Browne, who is directing the Curtain Call production of Miller’s work opening Friday, likes that assessment. Arthur Miller may have done his best stuff two decades earlier, but when “The Price” came out on Broadway in February of 1968, New York Times critic Clive Barnes was impressed.
