One of Arthur Miller's best plays. In a soon-to-be-demolished family house in New York two brothers meet again after many years to dispose of their dead parents' property. Solomon, a phenomenon, a man nearly ninety but with an air of authority and straight-backed still, finds himself in the middle of an uneasy reunion. The two brothers are estranged and haunted by the memory of the American Depression. The brothers' confrontation leads them to examine the events and qualities of their very different lives, and the price that each of them has had to pay. An intelligent play by the greatest living dramatist in the English language.
