John Turturro, Tony Shalhoub, and Jessica Hecht will star in Roundabout Theatre Company’s Broadway revival of Arthur Miller’s 1968 drama The Price.
As previously announced, Steppenwolf co-founder Terry Kinney will direct the production, which is set to begin previews February 16, 2017, and officially open March 16 at the American Airlines Theatre. The limited engagement is scheduled to play through May 7.
Turturro will play Victor Franz. He appeared on Broadway in Relatively Speaking and Life (x) 3, but is better known for his TV and film work, which has included Barton Fink, Do the Right Thing and The Big Lebowski.
Shalhoub will play Walter Franz. He's best known for his Emmy and Golden Globe-winning performance as the obsessive-compulsive detective Adrian Monk in the series Monk, but has appeared in recent years on Broadway in Act One and Golden Boy, receiving Tony Award nominations for both.
Hecht will play Esther Franz. She is currently co-starring on Broadway as Golde in Fiddler on the Roof. She has appeared in numerous Broadway productions, including Harvey, A View From the Bridge, After the Fall and The Assembled Parties, for which she earned a Tony nomination as Best Actress in the Play.
The Price was last seen on Broadway in 1999 directed by James Naughton. The story follows the reunion of two estranged brothers who are brought together by their father’s death and the settling of his affairs.
“When the Great Depression cost his family their fortune, Victor Franz gave up his dream of an education to support his father,” state RTC production notes. “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.”
