Death of a Salesman at Beatrice Herford's Vokes Theatre

Ironically, one of Death of a Salesman's most misquoted lines -- "Attention must be paid!" -- is its most accurate advertisement. For attention must be paid to this iconic drama which won both the Pulitzer and the Tony for Best Play in 1949. An unflinching examination of the American dream, Death of a Salesman centers around the aging Willy Loman, who, after a lifetime as an unfulfilled traveling salesman, finds himself at the end of his career -- and the end of his tether. As dreams of the past collide with visions of what might have been, Willy's wife and sons wage a desperate struggle to engage Willy in the present. Witness the epic extremes of humor and anguish, promise and loss in this powerful production from Vokes Players.
