The ThreeWeeks review of Miller, which is a play about football and stuff, at the Fringe:
Your dad's death isn't something you really want to think about, but it's where 'Miller' packs its biggest emotional punch. No one person plays Miller himself, but three of the talented cast of four throw themselves into playing him beautifully; their strength lies in their versatility. He's not an especially likeable man, but it's his sensitively-played son that makes us feel for him. This is a production that understands the basics, and keeps it simple; these guys know what they need and that they don't need anything extraneous. Solid, sensitive, versatile and touching. Seeing it with your dad would be uplifting but ultimately force you to confront the inevitable. Well worth a look.
