What Did Critics Think of Death of a Salesman in the West End?

Following a sold-out run at the Young Vic, the Marianne Elliott-helmed revival of Death of a Salesman has opened at the Piccadilly Theatre.

Seventy years since Arthur Miller's Pulitzer-winning play first hit the Broadway stage, this West End rendition re-imagines the tragedy of deluded traveling salesman Willy Loman from the perspective of an African-American family.

The production is slated to run until January 4, 2020.
