Willy Inman has been a salesman all his life, accepting the competitive values of that world unquestioningly. But at sixty he is forced to take stock of his life and face its futility and failure. He refuses to accept this, however, and to his death still deceiving himself. Is he a hero or a fool? That is the question posed by this great contemporary tragedy.

Work Description

The blood of Willy Lohman flows in all of us. The story of the salesman who wanted more for his sons than he knew how to get, who harmed them through his well-meaning dreams but atoned with his life, is at least in part the story of all of us. That is why it is one of the most overwhelming successes of the modern American theatre.
