Death of a Salesman

Playwright Arthur Miller won a Pulitzer Prize for “Death of a Salesman” and it has been said that every night it is performed somewhere in the world. It has connected with the hearts and minds of people everywhere and while critics have debated whether or not the play is a tragedy, a piercing social commentary, an affirmation of the American spirit, or a depiction of the salesman's life, individuals around the world have been emotionally touched and intellectually challenged by the drama's poignant portrait of human beings just like themselves. Now 50 years old and considered Miller's masterpiece, this Pulitzer Prize-winning drama explores the struggles faced by Willy Loman, a traveling salesman, who fights to maintain his illusions in the face of a rapidly changing society. The arrival of his eldest son, Biff, forces Willy to confront his decisions, his failures, and the lies that have been the foundation of his family life.
