Ever since it was first performed in 1949, Death of a Salesman has
been recognized as a milestone of the American theater. In the
person of Willy Loman, the aging, failing salesman who makes his
living riding on a smile and a shoeshine, Arthur Miller redefined
the tragic hero as a man whose dreams are at once insupportably
vast and dangerously insubstantial. He has given us a figure whose
name has become a symbol for a kind of majestic grandiosity--and a
play that compresses epic extremems of humor and anguish, promise
and loss, between the four walls of an American living room.
"By common consent, this is one of the finest dramas in the
whole range of the American theater." --Brooks Atkinson, The New
York Times
"So simple, central, and terrible that the run of playwrights
would neither care nor dare to attempt it." --Time
