Following a sold out run at the Young Vic theatre, the smash hit, critically acclaimed production of Death of a Salesman transfers to the west end for 10 weeks only
"I don't say he's a great man…but he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid. He's not to be allowed to fall in his grave like an old dog. Attention, attention must finally be paid to such a person."
Following her recent award-winning successes on Company and Angels in America, Marianne Elliott co-directs Death of a Salesman with Miranda Cromwell, who worked as Associate Director on both shows. Together, they bring a unique vision to one of the greatest plays of the twentieth century, seen through the eyes of an African-American family.

Best play I have ever seen. Cast and production superb. Only negative comment I have is the theatre allowed customers in 30 minutes after curtain raised; disruptive and disrespectful behaviour and in my opinion they should have been made to wait until the interval.
Fantastic, powerful and moving performance. Acting was excellent and the staging superb!
It is difficult to be overly generous to a production when you can only see half the show as it is hidden by safety rails and at a level where some scenes are performed so front stage that it cannot be seen from upper tiers. Certainly it is daylight robbery to sell a full price aisle seat ( where the rails obscure) in the Piccadilly without suggesting it has restricted vision. That said there were many good aspects to the production not least an outstanding performance by Sharon D Clarke as Linda. Wendell Pierce gave a solid performance as Willy, capturing his confusion though not really capturing that underlying fragility so central to Willy’s tragedy. Biff was largely unintelligible in the second half (a change of cast from the original production). The design became a little bitty in the Piccadilly and lacked that sense of claustrophobia that at times adds to Willy’s sense of being hemmed in. Nevertheless much to commend it, though I wonder how much had been lost since the young Vic performances.
The production was terrific.
Excellent acting, very engrossing
Beautifully produced and excellent acting. However, the show is spoiled by the mad rush during intervals and the inadequacy of the bar where one has to queue for ages just to get a coke. Perhaps a drinks waiter should walk around the stalls just like the ice cream servers
Fantastic production. One of the best plays I’ve ever seen.
Amazing show ! Brilliant production and acting
Excellent.
Excellent production and a great cast.
Superb cast performances make for a excellent version of this Arthur Miller classic.
can't fault the wonderful performances and well staged.
