“In this intimate and compelling drama, Victor and Esther Franz stand in the attic of Victor’s late father’s brownstone apartment building in the heart of New York City. The award-winning Richard Dreyfuss and Amy Irving bring such a familiarity and naturalism to these roles the listener can sense the stillness and the dust in the attic and feel the characters sifting through a lifetime of memories…The entire cast finds majestic sadness and life in every word of this classic by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Arthur Miller. American theater at its best.”
