About this Item

The Price [Original Broadway Playscript] ///// 8.5x11 , mimeograph or photocopy in original studio covers [NY: studio duplicating service, inc. ] 1967. 120 leaves printed rectos only. Pp: [2] Act 1,1 to 49; Act 2, 1-68; Author s Production Note . Bound in dark red Studio Duplicating Service wrappers with title stamped in gilt; 2 brass screwposts. ///// Title page marked at bottom Copyright by the author 1967 ; Property of Robert Whitehead Productions ///// The Price is a two-act play written by Miller in 1967 with its first performance on Broadway, February 8, 1968. The play takes place in the attic of a once prosperous Manhattan brownstone, soon to be pulled down in the cause of architectural progress and financial stability. Playbill: When the Great Depression cost his family their fortune, Victor Franz gave up his dream of an education to support his father. Three decades later, Victor has returned to his childhood home to sell the remainder of his parents estate. His wife, his estranged brother, and the wily furniture dealer hired to appraise their possessions all arrive with their own agendas, forcing Victor to confront a question, long-stifled, about the value of his sacrifice. ///// The opening night review in the New York Times proclaimed it "� one of the most engrossing and entertaining plays that Miller has ever written. It is superbly, even flamboyantly, theatrical, running without an intermission, complying with the classic unities of time, place and action, and Miller holds the interest with the skill of a born story-teller. ///// The Price was nominated for two 1968 Tony Awards, including Best Play (Arthur Miller, writer). It lost the "Best Play" category to Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. The Play has been revived four times on Broadway. It was also adapted for a 1971 production for the Hallmark Hall of Fame, garnering six Emmy nominations. ///// CONDITION: VERY GOOD; text block is fine; initials DP circled in red on title page moderate wear to covers with creases along hinge and outer edge, chips and abrasions along edges. ///// Studio Duplicating Service, Inc. was a private duplicating service for playwrights owned and operated by NY writer and radio host Jean M. Shepard.

Store Description

Books, Historical Documents, Autographs, and Ephemera -- Burns Bizarre specializes in the eclectic. We are a merger of two former booksellers 'Books on Main' [Ventura CA] and Armadillo & Dicker [Sacramento CA.] Most of our stock is rare or out-of-print - dating from the 18th century to the present. We do not sell reprint editions or book club editions unless they differ from the original in some way that makes them independently collectible. The name Burns' Bizarre comes from one of our father's enterprises in Chicago during the 1930's -- we are proud to continue his tradition of what is now eighty years of selling things people could easily live without.

Shipping Terms

Shipping costs are based on an average weight, including packaging, of 2 LB, or 0.9 KG. We usually don't charge extra if you are above that, but If your book is very heavy or special handling is required we may add an extra shipping charge. This usually occurs only for books being shipped via priority mail or internationally; the extra cost for shipping can make the difference in whether we make a profit or take a loss on the sale. We will always contact you first to get your approval for the extra charge. Sometimes shipping doesn't cost as much as we estimate -- if it's a negligible amount we just let it be but if it is substantial, we usually refund the excess shipping. We do not insure our shipments*; if you would like your package insured let us know and we will quote you the extra cost for doing so. (*Domestic items being sent by priority mail are automatically insured by the post office for up to $50.)
