'Death Of A Salesman' Free Play Reading

WILLY LOMAN LIVES AGAIN IN GHOST LIGHT'S NEXT READING!!!
The Ghost Light Series, continuing the objective of presenting readings of established works by seasoned playwrights while showcasing local stage talent, returns with a play reading of Arthur Miller's flagship opus: The Pulitzer Prize winning Death of a Salesman.
Salesman tells the story of the iconic Willy Loman and his downward spiral. Once a success at his company, he finds himself longing for the days of his conquest of the "American Dream". Through his eyes, we see his strained relationship with his long suffering wife, Linda; his indifference to his younger, ambitious son, Happy; most of all, the broken tie to his older son, Biff. Mostly a memory play, Salesman travels between past and present to bring Willy to a climatic future.
Not only did Death of a Salesman win the 1949 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It also won the New York Drama Critics Circle and Tony awards for best play the same year, making Arthur Miller, a world renowned playwright. Almost 60 years later, Salesman still holds up as one of the greatest works in American literature today.
The reading of Death of a Salesman will be presented Monday, September 24th, 2007 at the Collins Community Center, 3900 NE 3 Avenue in Oakland Park beginning at 7:30pm. As always, admission is free. For more information, please call 954-270-0998 or ghostlightseries@yahoo.com.
