A Riveting Tragedy Indeed!

Loved it! It meets the true expectation of its title, a real modern tragedy at its best. Enjoy!

Great performance brings into mind what is inside the minds of aging employees after they’ve been at it for the mini many years

Fantastic Performance!

I never read the book or heard about the story. I am glad it was recommended to me. This is a beautiful real life experience and it is so relatable for all of its characters. I applaud this play. Amazing!

Wonderfully Told

This is a classic story and it was fun to have a full cast. I highly recommend this audio performance if you enjoyed the play; the cast does a wonderful job of giving it almost the same energy as a live play in person.

one of the best school books

the story overall was really good and the ending of the play was absolutely a finish. I had to read this for school and this is one of best books I have had to read. If I didn’t also listen to the audiobook though, I don’t think I would have liked it as much. Listening to the play while reading gave me so much more than without it. Even though the ending was expected, it made me shed a few tears with the actor on the last page.

A Classic

The banality of life - captured by Lohman. It's still noble and worthy. Bravo!!

First Arthur Miller experience, brought me to tears

Truly brought all the nuance out. I didn’t anticipate how much this play would move me.
