The Apron Theater Company and the Next Stage Arts Project present Arthur Miller’s Pulitzer Prize winning play Death of a Salesman directed by Carrie Kidd at Next Stage in Putney on October 10,11,12,13, and 17, 18, 19. Evening performances are at 8 pm. The Sunday, October 13th performance is a 2pm matinee.
An attack on the “American Dream” of materialism, Death of a Salesman is a three-act play (two acts and a “requiem”), centering on the main character, Willy Loman, (played by Arthur Pettee.) He dies as he has lived, a failure in the eyes of society. Arthur Miller wrote: “…to me the tragedy of Willy Loman is that he gave his life, or sold it, in order to justify the waste of it.”
The Apron Theater Company was founded by Karla Baldwin, Hallie Flower, and Carrie Kidd. Death of A Salesman is the company’s third production as the Next Stage Arts Project’s “theater-company-in-residence” following its highly successful summer productions of W;T and The Cripple of Inishmaan.
Tickets are $10, general admission, available online at www.nextstagearts.org or by phone reservation at: 802-387-0071.
