Miller tells us that Loman is in his sixties-in 1948, when the play is ostensibly set, the male life expectancy in the US was 64, though that has risen to 76 -but Willy is frequently played by much younger actors-as if the rigors of the role demand a youthful vigor-which is also telling about the overwhelming pressure the “actual” Willy Loman must have felt.
Since its opening smash in 1949 that had them sobbing in the aisles, every actor worth his salt has wanted to try his hand at Willy Loman. Salesman may not be Miller’s most produced play ( Crucible is) but Salesman it is his most important, and has been produced on every continent.
