In the person of Willy Loman, the aging, failing salesman who makes his living riding on a smile and a shoeshine, Arthur Miller redefined the tragic hero as a man whose dreams are at once insupportably vast and dangerously insubstantial. He has given us a figure whose name has become a symbol for a kind of majestic grandiosity-and a play that compresses epic extremes of humor and anguish, promise and loss, between the four walls of an American living room. n nBy common consent, this is one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater. -Brooks Atkinson, The New York Times n nSo simple, central, and terrible that the run of playwrights would neither care nor dare to attempt it. -Time n nEditorial Reviews n nWinner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama nWinner of the National Book Award Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters n nBy common consent, this is one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater. --Brooks Atkinson, The New York Times n nSo simple, central, and terrible that the run of playwrights would neither care nor dare to attempt it. --Time n- From the Publisher n nA contemporary classic....Listen to this album. n n- New York Times Book Review n nStacy Keach portrays the quintessential traveling salesman, Willy Loman, who has endured the pressures of years on the road to support his family and is now coming to the realization that some of his most precious dreams will never be achieved. As his family relationships unravel, the cast, performing before a live audience, delivers the highs and lows of dysfunction, heartbreak, selfish motives, depression, and compassion-all of it coming to a riveting peak in what many consider to be the greatest play in American drama. Jane Kaczmarek is outstanding as Willy's wife, his rock who has turned a blind eye to just how he managed to get through the doors of so many important buyers in his younger years. The audio quality is perfection and simulates a front-row seat right in the listener's headphones. B.J.P.
