Directed by Brian Richmond.
Starring David Ferry as Willy Loman and Kyra Harper as Linda Loman.
Considered by many to be the greatest American play, Death of a Salesman rings with the hollowness of the American Dream. Told in the past and present simultaneously, false expectations and the devastating consequences of consumerism set the backdrop for this drama that chronicles the tragic downfall of Willy Loman.

The World Upside Down is one in which the symbolic order is turned on its head. It is a world visualized by artists where killer rabbits hunt humans and Superman is a hero of the Soviet Union. It is the Planet of the Apes and a planet where British aristocrats lose their heads when they find themselves dressed in African fabrics.
