The first episode of Starstruck sees host Sam Newman in conversation with director Jonathan Munby about The Price, opening at the Marylebone Theatre from 17 April to 7 June 2026.
Munby explains why Arthur Miller still feels strikingly relevant today, with The Price tackling timeless themes like family conflict, responsibility, and the consequences of past choices. The story follows two brothers forced to confront their history while clearing out their late father’s belongings.
The episode also dives into Munby’s approach to directing, focusing on truth, empathy, and letting audiences draw their own conclusions, as well as his plans to create an intimate, immersive experience that brings viewers right into the heart of the action.
It’s a sharp, insightful listen that offers a fresh perspective on a classic play. Definitely one to check out before seeing the production.
