Director and writer Shira Piven credits her parents’ Literary Story Theatre with discovering Miller’s story. “They had this idea of taking folk tales and fairy tales and making a play out of them.” “Not for kids necessarily, but like a real play. My mom was always looking for pieces that could be adapted. And she found this short story by Arthur Miller called 'The Performance,' and I thought it would make a great film.”

Deadline’s chief film critic Pete Hammond, who can also be seen on PBS SoCal's Must See Movies, moderates a post-screening Q&A with actor Jeremy Piven and director and writer Shira Piven.
