“Death of a Salesman” at 75

Revisit the influence and relevance of Death of a Salesman.

The Fourteenth International Arthur Miller Conference celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Broadway premiere of Arthur Miller’s masterpiece, held in Miller’s beloved, bucolic town of Roxbury where he wrote the play in the writing studio that he built with his own hands and which still stands on the Tophet Road property he once owned.

This one-day conference emphasized the relevance and influence of how for 75 years Death of a Salesman has connected to readers and audiences throughout the world. As Lynn Nottage wrote in her foreword to the 2015 Centennial edition of Miller’s collected plays (Penguin Random House), “Miller’s plays have transcended time, not simply because they are beautifully crafted, but also because they are important social documents that capture moral conundrums that resonate powerfully for audiences today”.
