"By common consent, this is one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater" is the way Brooks Atkinson described Death of a Salesman--now one of the most popular classics in our written iterature. The name of Willy Loman, the central character, is a sfamiliar as Babbitt. Willy's story is poignant, sometimes humorous, ultimately tragic; the story of a man steeped in the go-getter gospel who never got beyond his own daydram world. The absorbing drama of his downhill struggle is the heart-wrenching drama of wishful dreamers everywhere.

Work Description

The blood of Willy Lohman flows in all of us. The story of the salesman who wanted more for his sons than he knew how to get, who harmed them through his well-meaning dreams but atoned with his life, is at least in part the story of all of us. That is why it is one of the most overwhelming successes of the modern American theatre.
