Death of a Salesman 2026

This week my good friend Tim Challen flew into NYC to attend various meeting at the UN as head of the UN Credit union ions across the globe. His time was tightly budget, but on Tuesday evening we met at the Explorers Club for a drink and dinner with two young Kenyan golfers. Agood time, although I was cautious about invitation to see an Arthur Miller play and with good reason. I had never seen anything by Arthur Miller, one of America's giants. I could recall ever watching Death Of A Salesman and it has been around almost seventy years. Almost as long as me. I agreed to join him at the Winter Garden Theater for Thursday's performance.) Tim was a little late. We entered the theater and sat in the first balcony. The audience was predominantly older. Many older than. p p pp DEATH OF A SALESMAN was based on the collapse of the American Dream mirroring the descent of his family's post-depression descent from success. Unspoken except for the Wasp names of his bosses, is the inherrent prejudice of the upper classes for the parents, who still cling to the hope of gaining suburban nirvana. Powerful, yet Wiilie's blind loyalty to his company contradicts man's preservation urge. A true sell-out left with no way out at the age of 63. Very accurate but the dialogue has not weathered well in the 21st Century. I was annoyed by Miller's refusing Willie anotger chance at life no matter how demeaning. At 74 I recognize the how at a certain age we become invisible to the young. Especially if our lives are geared to bettering everything all the time Otherwise it was good to hold your hand Have fun at the Club Im heading out to Montauk
