FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Death of a Salesman

STAGE REVIEW Death of a Salesman
9 / 10

Compliments must be paid. Director Mike Nichols' stirring Death of a Salesman, running on Broadway through June 2, harbors no radical agenda, no modern glosses or reinterpretations of Arthur Miller's text. Instead, Nichols & Co. play it straight. And rarely has a classic work seemed straighter, or truer.

A deeply relevant 'Death of a Salesman' emerges
9 / 10

The still-vibrant, still-powerful story of Arthur Miller's Willy Loman returns to a nation now emerging from a Great Recession, awash with consumerism, disgusted by greed and where audience members are striving pointlessly to be 'well liked' on Facebook. Crisply directed by Mike Nichols and starring a heartbreaking Philip Seymour Hoffman, this 'Death of a Salesman,' which opened Thursday at the Barrymore Theatre, is now a gloomy 63-year-old mirror – the same age as Loman is in the play – held up to the world to prove that little has changed. ... Hoffman will deservedly get attention for playing one of the most iconic American stage roles with vigor, but this production gets its heart and soul from Loman's wife, played with ferocious love by Linda Emond. She is holding this family together with her nails, watching her husband fall apart, taking his abuse, soaring with his hopes, playing interference between him and her sons, and generally walking on eggshells.
