He blames his perpetual money woes on his estranged brother Walter (Chris Kayser), who became a successful doctor while Victor joined the police force to support their father.Īnyone who's ever tried to sell a used car can sympathize with Victor as he contends with the ancient but foxy appraiser (David Milford) who's an old hand at overdramatic haggling and lowball offers. The well-cast show features Barry Stoltze as Victor, a beat cop trying to sell his late father's old furniture. But in the Jewish Theatre of the South production, it's the oar, alas, that provides the most apt symbol for Miller's script, in which the conflicts move in circles like an under-equipped rowboat. The rapier neatly foreshadows the verbal duels to come and the harp evokes the refinement of an era long past.
All sorts of items clutter the attic that provides Arthur Miller's The Price with its set, including a rapier, a harp and a single oar.
