  Death of a Salesman at Yellow Tree Theatre

Death of a Salesman

Yellow Tree Theatre
320 5th Ave SE Osseo

Widely considered to be one of the best plays of the 20th century, Arthur Miller's classic drama chronicles the fate of the tragic hero Willy Loman as he crumbles under the weight of the American Dream. It's 1949 in Brooklyn, and as the failing shoe salesman approaches his golden years desperation sets in as his dangerously unattainable dreams are left unrealized. An emotionally-gripping American classic about fathers and sons, promise and anguish, loyalty and loss as relevant today as ever. Featuring Jason Peterson and Patrick Coyle. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play!

Thru - Oct 16, 2016



Price: $21-$25

  Death of a Salesman Reviews

Star Tribune - Highly Recommended

"...Miller's piece really is an actor's playground, and it gets vibrant and moving performances from the leads. From the moment we see Coyle's Willy, in the shadows but clearly exhausted and worn down, the actor has us in the palm of his hand as he leads us deep into the mind of this troubled man."

Twin Cities Pioneer Press - Recommended

"..."Death of a Salesman" is an acknowledged classic. The Yellowtree staging honors that status without being slavish to it, treating the story not as a Great Work of Art, but as a still-resonant story to which attention still must be paid."

Twin Cities Arts Reader - Highly Recommended

"...I was taken aback in the first part of Death of a Salesman at Yellow Tree Theatre when Willy Loman said he was sixty. I just turned sixty years’ old and I tried to convince myself I was not like Loman. He was, I told myself, the lead character in a play from the mid-twentieth century, not relevant to today’s society. But as the performances progressed in the intimate black box theatre, I conceded that Willy Loman is still the American middle-class Everyman. The play by Arthur Miller retains the power to comment on the false promise of the American Dream and the message is delivered very effectively in a solid production at Yellow Tree."
