SYNOPSIS

Austin Playhouse brings Arthur Miller’s classic drama Death of Salesman to life from February 17 – March 12, 2017. It’s 1949 in Brooklyn, and Willy Loman, the failing salesman who once made his living “riding on a smile and a shoeshine,” begins to crumble under the weight of the American dream. Recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, multiple Tony Awards, and widely considered to be one of the greatest plays of the Twentieth Century, this emotionally gripping tale is an exploration of failure and success that still resonates today.

​

The play stars Marc Pouhé* as Willy Loman and Carla Nickerson* as Linda Loman, with Suzanne Balling, Joey Banks, Paul Christian, Sean Christopher, Patrick Gathron, Estrella Gonzales, Billy Harden, Margaret Hoard**, Stephen Mercantel**, and Steve Shearer.
