Strong production of this American classic. The father-son rift is especially heart wrenching. Rick Foucheux's Willy Loman runs from delirous denial to hot anger to utter sadness. The wife/mother role was also expertly played. I liked the staging and way the multiple scenes within the two levels of his house were conveyed to the audience. Good sound design and lighting. Well worth seeing, and it made me want to dust off the play and re-read it to catch new kernels in it.Written on Mar 17 2008

Description
by Arthur Miller
directed by Timothy Bond
in repertory with A View from the Bridge
This Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece was hailed by the New York Times as "one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater." Exhibiting Miller’s skill as a storyteller and social commentator, it has lost none of its potency or relevance as it examines our national obsession with wealth and success.
In the iconic figures of Linda and Willy Loman, Miller created two of the most remarkable characters ever seen on a stage. Willy has made his living riding on a smile and a shoeshine. While chasing his elusive American Dream, he has put unrelenting pressure on his sons to achieve at all costs. Faced with the end of his career, he’s haunted by missed opportunities and a troubled past. As the truth unravels, Linda struggles to help her increasingly desperate husband.
About the Ticket Supplier: Arena Stage
Arena Stage today stands as a flagship American theater. Arena Stage was one of the first not-for-profit theaters in the United States, as well as a pioneer of the regional theater movement. It was the first regional theater to transfer a production to Broadway, the first invited by the U.S. State Department to tour behind the Iron Curtain, and the first to receive a Tony Award. Taking a leadership role in extending theater's horizons, Arena Stage has implemented groundbreaking policies and programs, promoting diversity in all aspects of theater, from theatergoing to production.
The Arena Stage legacy of world-class productions includes vast epics, charged dramas, rousing musicals, and probing profiles. From the monumental to the developmental, Arena Stage has helped build the canon of American theater. While they produce American classics, Arena Stage premieres new American plays and supported works in progress. They've nurtured artistic growth and engaged the community, broadening and intensifying the theatrical experience for one and all. And yet, in spite of it all, in their second half-century they see themselves as more fresh, restless and dynamic than ever.
