Old Globe's DEATH OF A SALESMAN, Closes 2/27

The Globe's revival of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, directed by Pam MacKinnon, will close at the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre Feb. 27.  Tickets can be purchased online at www.TheOldGlobe.org, by phone at (619) 23-GLOBE or by visiting the Box Office at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.

Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play, Death of a Salesman is a work of tremendous emotional impact and an unflinching examination of the American Dream that is as relevant today as the day it was written. After a lifetime as a traveling salesman, Willy Loman finds himself at the end of his career and at the end of his rope. As dreams of the past collide with visions of what might have been, Willy's wife and sons wage a desperate struggle to engage him in the present. The Old Globe's acclaimed "Classics Up Close" series continues with one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century.

As previously announced, Jeffrey DeMunn will star in the iconic role of Willy Loman. Newly announced are JorDan Baker (The Woman), Ben Diskant (Bernard), Jesse Jensen (Stanley), Robin Moseley (Linda), Tyler Pierce (Happy), John Procaccino (Charley), Deborah Radloff (Jenny, Letta), Lucas Caleb Rooney (Biff), Ryman Sneed (Miss Forsythe), Adrian Sparks (Uncle Ben) and Jonathan Spivey (Howard Wagner, 2nd Waiter).

The creative team features Marion Williams (Scenic Design), Mathew LeFebvre (Costume Design), Rui Rita (Lighting Design), Jeremy J. Lee (Sound Design) and Lavinia Henley (Stage Manager).
