Join the Ross Valley Players for a captivating production of Death of a Salesman.
Arthur Miller’s award-winning play is a work of deep and revealing beauty, that remains one of the most profound achievements in American theater. Set in late 1940s Brooklyn and told through a montage of memories, dreams, and arguments of the protagonist traveling salesman Willy Loman who is despondent with his life and appears to be slipping into senility. Several tragic, soul-searching revelations – concerning his wife, his sons and his business associates – underscore how his quest for the “American Dream” kept him blind to the people who truly loved him.
