Death of a Salesman

Death of a Salesman is a 1949 stage play written by the American playwright Arthur Miller. This two-act tragedy is set in late 1940s Brooklyn and focuses on Willy Loman, a traveling salesman despondent with his life. The story is told through a montage of memories, dreams, and arguments, addressing themes such as the American Dream, the anatomy of truth, and infidelity. The production won the 1949 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, and has since been revived on Broadway five times and adapted for cinema ten times.
