Rebirth of a salesman

Article Abstract:

Playwright Arthur Miller believes his "Death of a Salesman" has been so successful because it probes universal themes of individuals against a faceless economic system. The character of Willy Loman engenders the love of the audience. The activity of selling merchandise is emblematic of the manufacturing and selling of the American dream. Miller's play celebrates its 50th anniversary with a Broadway production starring William Dennehy and Elizabeth Franz.
