Death of a Salesman

Arthur Miller’s masterpiece about the failed pursuit of the American Dream offers an indictment of materialistic society and a probing view of family relationships. At the center of Death of a Salesman is Willy Loman, who – while adhering to the illusive American ideal – puts unrelenting pressure on his sons, Biff and Happy. The sons’ struggle to win their father’s love, as well as to forge their own independent lives, and their mother’s attempts to mediate this battle, make a universal story that continues to move audiences world-wide.
