Death of a Salesman
By Arthur Miller
With Anthony LaPaglia
“It was a bucket list to produce Death Of A Salesman, Willy Loman’s belief in his son, Linda Loman’s perfectly penned journey to absolute nothingness and Biff Loman’s total belief he didn’t fit inside the dream shattered me as a student, and beyond my wildest dreams with Neil Armfield extraordinary vision to set in on the bleachers of Ebbets Field, the very graveyard of the dreams was inspired and extraordinary. Nearly 100,000 people saw our production of Salesman. An experience I will never forget.
