Widely considered to be one of the greatest plays of the twentieth century, Arthur Miller's, Pulizer Prize winning masterpiece, Death of a Salesman offers a timely look at the cost of not being able to let go of the American Dream.

After half a lifetime on the road, Willy Loman, a once successful travelling salesman is unable to keep up in a changing workplace; he’s on the brink of unemployment, and he and his wife have got bills to pay. When his dropout son Biff moves home again, Willy decides to give success one last shot. Can he prove to everyone he’s got what it takes?

Described by one critic as ‘a time bomb expertly placed under the edifice of Americanism’, Arthur Miller’s classic social commentary is a tragic exploration of the consequences of having blind faith in the capitalist system and complying with the demand of ‘keeping up with the neighbours’.

Don’t miss Olivier Award nominee Nicholas Woodeson (The Audience, The Homecoming, Rocket to the Moon and Taboo for BBC) in the iconic role of Willy Loman.

Death of a Salesman is directed by acclaimed director Abigail Graham whose production of Molly Sweeney played recently at The Print Room and Lyric Belfast. Design is by Georgia Lowe, who recently designed Yen at the Royal Court and Pomona and The Night Watch at the Royal Exchange.

** Please note that the role of Willy Loman has been recast due to the tragic death of Tim Pigott-Smith OBE, earlier this month. Performances on Tuesday 2 and Wednesday 3 May, as previously advertised, have been cancelled and ticket holders have been contacted. All other bookings remain valid.
