Synopsis:
The story revolves around the last days of Willy Loman, a failing salesman, who cannot understand how he failed to win success and happiness. Through a series of tragic soul-searching revelations of the life he has lived with his wife, his sons, and his business associates, we discover how his quest for the “American Dream” kept him blind to the people who truly loved him.
Character Description
WILLY LOMAN – now sixty, is exhausted and bewildered. Memories and haunting images from the past influence his erratic emotions and actions. At times lively, hopeful, or volatile, and impulsive, Willy is unpredictable. While he loves his family, he is an unfaithful husband and a failed father who tries to force his own unfulfilled ambitions onto his sons.
