by Arthur Miller,
'Willy Loman never made a lot of money. His name was never in the paper. He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid.'
34 years ago travelling salesman Willy Loman climbed into his car to chase the American dream: running on hope and 'riding on a smile and a shoeshine' into the land of opportunity.
This is the journey of his life, told in one day. Willy, now 63, returns home for the last time to his family, with his memories, his daydreams and his terrible fear that somewhere along the road he might have taken a wrong turn.
Written by the legendary Arthur Miller (The Crucible, All My Sons, A View from the Bridge) Death of a Salesman is arguably his greatest work. Described as the first great American tragedy, Death of a Salesman helped Miller gain the reputation of being a man who understood the deep essence of the United States. Addressing the painful conflicts within one family, the play also considers the cost of blind faith in the American Dream. It won the Pulitzer Prize in 1949 and still punches with full force 66 years after its premiere.
