“You can't eat the orange and throw the peel away - a man is not a piece of fruit.”Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman covers the last 24 hours of Willy Loman's life concluding with his suicide and subsequent funeral. He sees things as they truly are, and is working hard to change things for both himself and Willy, and Willy is too complacent, or too involved in the fantasy of his own reality to see what Ben is truly offering him, at least, that is, until the end of the play.A truly heartbreaking look at the American working man, and a must-read for all. I identify strongly with Biff from beginning to end.I also love Willy's brother Ben, another voice of reason. Everyone thinks he's the loser, the lazy one, but he's the only one who truly understands what is going on. Biff is the only character in the Loman family willing to accept the truth of the situation. There are so many Willy Lomans in the world, so many wide-eyed workers who think that everything will work out if that one big deal comes through.Biff is the voice of reason. That's what Death of a Salesman is meant to do. This is one of those pieces of art that, properly experienced, can alter perceptions of daily life. And, the sad fact is, so many people could learn something from it if they just gave it a read. I knew I would one day make it to this one, and now here we are.What an amazingly touching story.
In fact, the only Arthur Miller I had experienced previously was The Crucible, which I absolutely love. The tickets for the widely acclaimed play have already been sold out.I somehow never was assigned Death of a Salesman in high school or college. "I believe the work can be recognized by, and resonate with, today's audiences." "I think that the story is close to our lives," said Lu. Directed by Lin Yi, it stars Lu Liang who has known the script for 40 years. Produced by Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center, the Chinese version is translated by Tian Hongyi. The play also features his relationship with his wife, sons and acquaintances.
It explores his psychological chaos and the capitalist society's impact on his life through a montage of memories, dreams and arguments. In pursuit of the American Dream, he believes that being well liked, not necessarily hard work, is the key to success. The play tells the last 24 hours in the life of a 63-year-old traveling salesman named Willy Loman. Known as one of the best American scripts in the 20th century, it has won three Tony Awards for Best Revival and the Pulitzer Prize in Drama. It is a two-act tragedy set in New York in the 1930s and 1940s. Written by American playwright Arthur Miller, "Death of a Salesman" premiered at Broadway in 1949. The Chinese version of the award-winning play "Death of a Salesman" is running at Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center.
