Death of a Salesman

By Arthur Miller

Directed by Sheri Lee Miller

Willy Loman is a traveling salesman who has worked for the Wagner Company for thirty-four years. He is now sixty-one years old and has been taken off salary, put back on straight commission, and he is unable to earn enough money to pay the bills. During the course of the play, Willy's sons and wife are confronted with the harsh reality of Willy's financial and moral decay. Arthur Miller's play is an unflinching examination of the price that the blind pursuit of the American Dream exacts upon the individual, the family and society.

Cast: Daniel Benzali as Willy Loman, Tori Truss, Tim Kniffin*, Michael Navarra*, John Craven, Jeff Cote, Mark Bradbury, Eric Burke, Gina Rose Tiso, April Krautner and Rose Roberts (*appearing courtesy of Actors' Equity Association)

"...Arthur Miller's poetic eulogy to skewed values is well-served by the entire production, particularly in the acting, the strength of which goes way beyond Benzali, who, all hype aside, is truly magnificent..."

(David Templeton - The Bohemian)

Daniel Benzali gives a precise, intense performance as doomed working man Willy Loman, backed by a strong supporting cast and polished production work from the 6th Street Playhouse staff and crew."Daniel Benzali gives a precise, intense performance as doomed working man Willy Loman, backed by a strong supporting cast and polished production work from the 6th Street Playhouse staff and crew."
