DEATH OF A SALESMAN Extends at Redtwist Theatre

DEATH OF A SALESMAN by Arthur Miller is directed by Steve Scott. The production has been extended through March 26, 2017. Performances run Thu, Fri, Sat at 7:30pm; Sun at 3pm.

With the American Dream seemingly in his grasp, Willy Loman refuses to admit his mistakes and balance the books in his heart. Redtwist's uniquely intimate space fixes the microscope squarely into Willy's soul as he fights for the dream while living a lie.

Effective immediately, the role of Happy will be played by Benjamin Kirberger on Fridays and Saturdays, and by Zach De Nardi on Thursdays and Sundays.

Beginning March 11, the role of Biff will be played by Nate Speckman and the role of Stanley will be played by Francis Brady.

Beginning March 19, the role of Willy will be played by Edward Kuffert.

In the post-war era of the late-40s, there was unbridled optimism and excitement. America was the most powerful and prosperous nation the world had ever seen. The American Dream was available to everyone. But wait! A 34-year old playwright had other ideas. Arthur Miller felt that the dream could become reality only in a life lived with honesty and integrity. So what happens when Willy Loman refuses to admit his mistakes and balance the books in his heart?
