Death of a Salesman

To honor the Centennial Celebration of the birth of Arthur Miller, the Mugford Street Players are proud to present Miller’s masterpiece, Death of a Salesman, directed by John Fogle.

First performed on Broadway in 1949, Death of a Salesman was awarded both the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play. The play has since been acknowledged as a milestone of the American theater. Nearly seventy years after its debut, the play is still constantly performed around the world and remains the most acutely contemporary of our classic American plays.

Arthur Miller redefined the tragic hero in Willy Loman—the aging, failing salesman who makes his living riding on a smile and a shoeshine.
Death of a Salesman compresses epic extremes of hope and anguish, promise and loss, within the unstable walls of a suburban American home.
