SUPERBLY written with some wonderful, witty dialogue, Arthur Miller's play The Price provided a perfect evening's entertainment.

Set against the backdrop of the "Great Depression", the play explores family relations and how money, or lack of it, can affect these.

Warren Mitchell as the feisty furniture dealer Solomon (who is in his 90s) puts in a splendid performance when he finds himself at the centre of a confrontration between two estranged brothers.

Brothers Vic (Larry Lamb) and Walter (Brian Protheroe) are forced by the sale of their father's furniture to confront their past decisions. Vic sacrificed his education to care for his father while Walter put himself first and is now a wealthy doctor. But, then there's the price to pay for past decisions.

Vic is still happily married to Esther (Nancy Crane) while Walter is divorced.

Solomon forces the brothers to confront their past decisions and, while Walter still thinks money can buy him happiness, it is Vic who finally realises love is worth far more than anything else. Nancy Crane was a wonderful foil for Lamb and I could share in her frustrations.

All four actors put in wonderful performances in such an intense play, especially Larry Lamb who was on stage for nearly all of the evening but his acting never faltered. AG
