I read years ago, somewhere, that "Salesman" was translated into Chinese
and performed in China. Must have been 20 years ago or more. Miller was
there for the performance. When the curtain fell, the audience, most all
Chinese, were in tears. How's that for universal themes and humanity?
My deceased colleague, Bob Alvin, played Willy in a performance
somewhere, and his wife, Ruth, told me that for many weeks during
rehearsals he was Willy himself--method actor, you know--and impossible
to live with during that time.
Great play in the classical tradition of striking universal chords.
Someone must listen to me....,
Bill Ball
