Victor is approaching retirement age (50) and his wife Esther (Jessica Hecht) would love him to leave the Force and find something to do that he loves. The two brothers resented each other's choice back then and ever since. His brother Walter (Tony Shaloub) went to medical school without a second glance. Back when his father had been destroyed by the Great Depression, Victor chose to forgo college and science in order to become a cop and support his old man. Victor (Mark Ruffalo) has been a cop for nearly 30 years. In comparison to him, all the other actors seem like they are once-removed, as if they were under water.

As Solomon (named after the wise king?) he enters the catacomb that the attic has become and shines a light where no light has been for over a decade - and where it is not welcome. Or as I like to call it: The Danny DeVito Show. Here is what we don't anticipate - The Danny DeVito Show. As we knew there would be from the moment the curtain goes up. There are, as is always the case with sibling estrangement, a lot of reasons why these two have not spoken, and with a second-hand furniture dealer on hand to throw gasoline on the smoldering coals - there are explosions aplenty. In this attic is the detritus of their father's life, and because the building is about to be demolished they are finally facing how to let go of it all. Two brothers who have not seen one another in 16 years are plonked together in the attic of their old home, a brownstone in Manhattan. The Price by Arthur Miller, now at the American Airlines Theatre as a Roundabout Theatre production, is no stroll in the park.
