What does it involve?: The classic play Death of a Salesman addresses loss of identity and a man’s inability to accept change within himself and society. Willy Loman has been a travelling salesman for 34 years and yet seems to have achieved very little. As the play (which is set as a montage of memories, dreams, confrontations, and arguments) opens, we discover Willy who is now tired and disillusioned with his life and certain members of his family – working hard to support your family and being well liked doesn’t mean you achieve the American Dream. Writer Arthur Miller then takes us on a journey over the last 24 hours of Willy Loman’s life, leading to disastrous circumstances.
