What Did The Critics Think Of Death of a Salesman?
Abigail, November 5th, 2019Now playing at the Piccadilly Theatre
After a scintillating run at the Young Vic earlier this year Marianne Elliott and Miranda Cromwell's adaptation of the Arthur Miller classic transfers to the West End. What did the critics think of this 2020 revival?
In short, they loved it! The stage was full of praise for the production saying that it was "a riveting and devastating production that breathes new life into the play". They continued with praise for stars of the show Wendell Pierce (as Willy Loman) and Sharon Clarke (as Linda Loman) saying, "Wendell Pierce gives a remarkable performance as Willy, full of anguish and oddity... Sharon D Clarke proves yet again her status of one of the all-time greats, as pacifying matriarch Linda."
The Evening Standard continued the praise with, "Marianne Elliott and Miranda Cromwell's meticulous production holds you mesmerised for over three hours, and the ending is devastating." With Time Out saying, "Elliott and Cromwell's taut, psychologically astute approach starts to bite as Willy's disappointments mount. Instead of retreating into a world of his own, he drags the whole audience into his head, a place where tiny, decades-old disappointments blare like sirens..."
Our own Abigail was also full of praise for the production saying, "tour de force Performances Makes Arthur Miller Play Shine" and awarded it five stars. Check Out Her Full Review Here.
