Faltering salesman Willy Loman has returned early from a road trip plagued by memories of the past and his realization that the American Dream has eluded him and his family. This Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy, still widely considered to be the greatest play of the 20th century, with five Broadway productions and ten screen adaptations, finally comes to the OLT stage.
