Death of a Salesman - by Arthur Miller - EXTENDED!
On its New York premiere in 1949, "Death of a Salesman" was hailed as the first great play to lay bare the emptiness of America's relentless drive for material success. Willy Loman has spent his life following the American way, living out his belief in salesmanship as a way to reinvent himself. But somehow the riches and respect he covets have eluded him. At age sixty-three, he searches for the moment his life took a wrong turn, the moment of betrayal that undermined his relationship with his wife and destroyed his relationship with Biff, the son in whom he invested his faith. Willy lives in a fragile fantasy world of elaborate excuses and daydreams, conflating past and present in a desperate attempt to make sense of himself and of a world that once promised so much.
"Death of a Salesman" has the flow and spontaneity of a suburban epic that may not be intended as poetry but becomes poetry in spite of itself because Mr. Miller has drawn it out of so many intangible sources." -The New York Times Brooks Atkinson (1949)
Directed by Aimee Bruneau
