Time and again they approach understanding and common ground before emotion takes hold and the moment is lost. The conflict between Victor and his estranged brother Walter Franz (Pip Miller) plays out with gritty realism, with the threads of their relationship painstakingly teased to reveal the reasons for long-held anger and distrust. The play moves through scene-setting conversations between Victor and his wife Esther Franz (Carmel Johnson), followed by antiques dealer Gregory Solomon (Dennis Olsen), as it builds to the heart of the piece.

Set around story of Victor Franz (Michael Habib), it explores the re-opening of old wounds as the New York City cop attempts to finalise his father’s estate before the demolition of their Manhattan apartment. The State Theatre Company’s production of The Price sees them take on one of Arthur Miller’s most acclaimed plays.
