    About This Event

    Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman at the Winter Garden Theatre brings together a cast whose careers cross Broadway, film and television: Christopher Abbott, Tony-nominated for his turn as Biff Loman in that production, Laurie Metcalf, Nathan Lane and Ben Ahlers. Their work—Abbott’s restraint, Metcalf’s precise plainspoken emotional logic, Lane’s timing and Ahlers’s grounded detail—frames Miller’s text in character-driven terms rather than spectacle.
