Josh Stamberg will take on the role of playwright Arthur Miller in Fall, a new play written by Bernard Weinraub, the former film reporter for The New York Times, and produced by Todd Black and Steve Tisch of Escape Artists, the film production company behind such movies as Southpaw and The Pursuit of Happyness.
A co-presentation with Boston’s Huntington Theatre Company, where the play will have its world premiere in a May 18-June 16 engagement, Fall tells the true story of Miller’s “secret” son Daniel, the child the Death of a Salesman playwright had with third wife Inge Morath.

The cast also includes Joanne Kelly as Morath, Joanna Glushak as a character named Dr. Wise, and in the role of Daniel, Nolan James Tierce, a local actor with Down syndrome. John Hickok will play Broadway producer Robert Whitehead.
