About this Event
Death of a Salesman
Proscenium presents Arthur Miller's extraordinary masterpiece. One of the greatest plays of the 20th century, this scathing indictment of the American dream, seen through the fate of fading salesman Willy Loman, astonished audiences and changed the course of modern theatre.
Last staged by Proscenium in 1988, Arthur Miller's iconic play Death of a Salesman is both a modern classic and a heroic tragedy. After spending his entire working life with the same company Willy Loman finds himself tired, worn-out and working on commission only. A salesman whose product, himself, he can no longer sell. The play is both a critique of how capitalism feeds on itself and a love story between a man and his son, for whom Willy has the highest expectations and for whom he makes the ultimate and tragically futile sacrifice.
