DEATH OF A SALESMAN

  • Rec Room Arts 100 Jackson Street Houston, TX, 77002 United States (map)

MARCH 13 - APRIL 5, 2025

by ARTHUR MILLER
directed by MATT HUNE

Pulitzer Prize Winner

“He cannot bear reality, and since he can’t do much to change it, he keeps changing his ideas of it.”
-Arthur Miller on Willy Loman

A salesman and his family are caught up in the pressures and delusions of living the American Dream. A dissection of America’s soul. A love story between a man and his son. A battle to sustain a sense of self in a world that increasingly offers less space for the individual. Arguably the greatest American play, Arthur Miller’s Death of A Salesman gets a visceral interpretation as a requiem for a fractured nation.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning, groundbreaking play changed American theatre in the person of its everyman tragic hero, Willy Loman, a dime a dozen, disappointed, disillusioned, and delusional traveling salesman with a skewed vision of the American Dream. All he wanted, the playwright wrote in his memoir, was "to count."

Featuring David Rainey (Alley Theatre) and directed by Rec Room Artistic Director Matt Hune (Spring Awakening, Peter Pan).
