Death of a Salesman

Bloomington Center for the Arts
1800 W. Old Shakopee Rd. Bloomington

Arthur Miller's iconic drama -- which won both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play when it debuted in 1949 -- still retains every ounce of its emotional impact. An unflinching examination of the American dream, Death of a Salesman focuses on the aging Willy Loman -- who, after a lifetime as an unfulfilled traveling salesman, 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 called Death of a Salesman "one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater." Witness the epic extremes of humor and anguish, promise and loss in the Bloomington Civic Theatre production of this powerful classic.
