Description: "By common consent, this is one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater" is the way Brooks Atkinson described Death of a Salesman--now one of the most popular classics in our written iterature. The name of Willy Loman, the central character, is a sfamiliar as Babbitt. Willy's story is poignant, sometimes humorous, ultimately tragic; the story of a man steeped in the go-getter gospel who never got beyond his own daydram world. The absorbing drama of his downhill struggle is the heart-wrenching drama of wishful dreamers everywhere.
