Death of A Salesman
Dreaming comes with the territory
For many generations, people have chased the American dream. Journeying across continents, they made America their home – where success was a promise, but the golden future was always a few more pay cheques away.
Willy Loman chased that dream too, but now time is running out, and his precious future is still slipping from his grasp. He’s been the model immigrant, raised his family as good Americans and done his best to be well-liked. So why does his wife feel she’s at breaking point? And why don’t his sons want to follow his path?
Death of a Salesman is both contemporary and timeless – an unforgettable classic reimagined for the Everyman by acclaimed director Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu. Seamlessly weaving past and present into one of theatre’s most enduring stories, Death of a Salesman reveals a family in turmoil, and a man fighting with his own sense of worth.
