Death of a Salesman

Long Beach Playhouse
5021 E. Anaheim St. Long Beach

This iconic family drama by Arthur Miller, which won both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play when it debuted in 1949, packs a timeless emotional punch as it explores the price paid for pursuing the American dream. After a lifetime unfulfilled as a traveling salesman, the aging Willy Loman finds himself at the end of his career -- and the end of his rope. As dreams of the past collide with visions of what might have been, Willy's wife and sons wage a desperate struggle to engage him in the present. The New York Times calls it "one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater," and it's now appearing at the Long Beach Playhouse.
