The Master at work
16 February 2019
David Suchet excels as Gregory Solomon! Not that this is a surprise, though, being the master of stage and screen. For me, it was a joy and honour to witness such excellence.
The rest of the cast was no less great to watch, as their characters unravel decades of unspoken resentments, guilt and misunderstandings.
Shame about my seat. I had booked Seat B21, clearly visible on the seating plan as being in the second row, 3rd seat on the right, which turned out to be in the first row and the last seat in that row! I was given a colourful explanation of the theatre having had to remove row A, as it was too close to the stage. As it was, there would have been no space for a row in front!

We loved The Price - all the performances were outstanding, but David Suchet is exceptional.

The Price - worth seeing!

All four actors did an excellent job. No microphones in sight but we could hear every word. Set with furniture dangling in piles from the ceiling on the left a bit busy and distracting but front of stage where almost of all of the action took place was fine. First half a bit repetitive , despite excellent acting by David Suchet as the Jewish Assessor aged 89. Second half took off, with relationships unravelling, unspoken truths revealed and the brothers searching for some sort of closure on the past. Makes for gripping watching and wondering where it will all end. Fascinating insight into life in America after the war when jobs were scarse and money tight. Would recommend.
Gripping and
you wondered where the play was going but took off after the interval

Magic

I'm not sure why The Price is listed as a comedy. Miller's play explores the depths of human need, want and compromise - although there are very funny parts too.
David Suchet is an extraordinary actor. I have seen him in a number of productions and in each he lights up the stage. I do not detract from the other fine actors, but Suchet's talent shines more brightly than any I have seen - and I'm old enough to have seen Olivier. Why he has not been awarded a peerage is beyond me.

Very engaging and thoughtful

Myself and my friends really enjoyed the performance of The Price. It was one of the most thought provoking plays I have ever seen. The writing was excellent and the acting (especially David Suchet) was superb. The only slight downside was that is was a bit drawn out towards the end and seemed to be a little repetitive. I would say it's for anyone who likes to explore the complexities of human relationships, especially within families.

A theatrical triumph

i loved this play - David Suchet performed so beautifully, in turn funny, poignant and wise. The relationship between the two brothers was heart-rending - so many misunderstandings in their lives had led to the impasse which probably could never be resolved. I won't forget the scene where they embraced and it looked as if a reconciliation might happen but Victor was once again overtaken by anger.

Absolutely Excellent

A play both funny and insightful, wonderfully performed by a great cast, led by David Suchet. I sat on the edge of my chair the entire performance, and this is noteworthy especially since I saw this play in Broadway a couple of years ago, with actors who are considered great international stars, and found it extremely boring. I guess this is the difference between great stars and great actors.
I would happily rate this production as a 10 stars one

David Suchet shines

David Suchet is phenomenal. Shame he isn't in the second half as much, as the family feud does go on a bit. However, overall it is very enjoyable.

The Price - Arthur Miller
It's been years since I last saw this play, and any memory of that experience has been erased by this brilliant production. Many may have gone to The Price drawn by David Suchet's well-deserved icon status, but what amazing performances by Brendan Coyle, Sara Stewart and Adrian Lukis! The play builds slowly to its important, dramatic observations and climax. Director Jonathan Church and Designer Simon Higlett demonstrated keen insights into every line and every detail. My perspective is that of a New Yorker whose parents lived through the depression, and the production touched me deeply on several levels. The set: the harp, the father's empty chair, the hoarding of things depression-era people tend towards were perfect. I kept wondering whether the wooden chair was meant to be a valuable Chippendale, the value of which was unappreciated and unknown to the characters save Mr Suchet. The top hat, dresses all unexpected luxury and brightness in the crowded dusty space were reminders at first of happy days of bygone luxury, later symbolising to me the facade of happiness that hadn't really existed. You've all inspired me to read the play - and come see it again. Splendid.

A slow start but partic engaging in the second half - dramatic and emotional performances - I didn’t recognise David Suchet!
Amazing set!!

Written 50 years ago still has a message for us today in terms of whether we pay a price or not for our choices. The acting ensemble were superb.

Best thing I've seen for ages!!!

This production was superb! The set was already intriguing before the action started - then as usual with Arthur Miller, the play started slowly, gradually building momentum so that after the interval the audience sat enthralled with not a sound anywhere. Of course Davis Suchet gave a wonderful performance!! But all the cast were convincing. This story rings SO true!!!

A big fan of Arthur Miller so this did not disappoint. Filled with various emotions, it was easy to get swept along with the inevitable family disputes when long forgotten arguements are finally faced.
