Death of A Salesman April 25, 2008

This Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece was hailed by The New York Times as "one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater." Exhibiting Miller's skill as a storyteller and social commentator, it has lost none of its potency or relevance as it examines the national obsession with wealth and success. In the iconic figures of Linda and Willy Loman, Miller created two of the most remarkable characters ever seen on a stage. Willy has made his living riding on a smile and a shoeshine. While chasing his elusive American Dream, he has put unrelenting pressure on his sons to achieve at all costs. Faced with the end of his career, he's haunted by missed opportunities and a troubled past. As the truth unravels, Linda struggles to help her increasingly desperate husband.
