AWOD: Death of a Salesman

Regarded as one of the best contemporary plays ever written 

Saturday 23 September | 7.30pm | GPAC Main Theatre 

Rediscover one of the greatest plays of the 20th Century as Hearth Theatre presents an intimate new production of Arthur Miller’s heartbreaking masterpiece Death of a Salesman. 

Written in 1948, Arthur Miller’s iconic and celebrated play of Death of a Salesman addresses loss of identity and a man’s inability to accept change within himself and society. The play is a montage of memories, dreams, confrontations and arguments, all of which make up the last 24 hours of Wily Loman's life.  

Featuring an extraordinary ensemble of Melbourne actors and directed by Christopher Tomkinson, renowned as one of Australia's finest theatre actors, Paul English takes on the iconic and monumental role of Willy Loman, “a salesman with his feet on the subway stairs, and his head in the stars.”   

Originally from the stages of Broadway in 1949, now reinvented by Hearth Theatre and showing at Gippsland Performing Arts Centre, the Death of a Salesman is a play that has touched the lives of many throughout the ages.
