Death of a Salesman

This Pulitzer-Prize winning play feels as timely today as it did when Arthur Miller wrote it in 1949. Yes, some of the references are dated, but the concept of the American Dream deferred, where the main character Willy Loman, played here by Actor’s Workshop founder Ed Claudio, feels that life has unfairly passed him by and rewarded the undeserved, leaving him bitter and angry, are ideas that still resonate—especially in this election cycle.
