Death of a Salesman

A classic of American theater viewed by many as a caustic attack on the American Dream of achieving wealth and success without regard for principle, Death of A Salesman received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1949, the 1949 Tony Award for Best Play, as well as the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play. Death of a Salesman was the first play to win these three major awards, helping to establish Arthur Miller as an internationally-known playwright.
