The American Dream: The play examines the concept of the American Dream and the idea that anyone can achieve success and prosperity through hard work and dedication. There are several themes in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, some of which are: Through them we are connected to ourselves more deeply, we come to feel our connection with each other more potently, and we sense our connection with something beyond all of us more profoundly. In their collective strengths and flaws we feel ourselves – we recognise that, all together, they somehow also depict the messiness that is us as individuals, who need a community to survive, and hope, love and truth to thrive. In each of them we see part of ourselves and we know that we contain all of them. The characters in the Loman family and their community are an incredible collection. It is thrilling to have the opportunity to finally share it with an audience. They have worked rigorously to bringing this story to life - creating extraordinary magic along the way. They have triumphed over both illness and isolation of Covid, bravely stepping into the unknown with an unfamiliar process, that challenges them at every turn and never gives them a ‘safe road’, they are constantly flying off the trapeze to catch each other and learning to fly together. We hope you like it.įinally, there was the cast, who have worked with incredible skill, passion and determination – beginning in lockdown and working over zoom for months until able to assemble in person. They courageously embrace being open to the truth of this moment now, in front of these people right here. Everything – how you say what you say, where you say what you say and what you are doing while you say it - is up for grabs within this structure, so no two performances are ever the same and the cast don’t try to force them to be.
#BIFF LOMAN PLAYLIST FREE#
There is no fixed ‘blocking’ – the actors are free to respond to the varied stimulus they detect in the performance they are in that night. This process aims to free the actor to be able to rediscover the show every time they step on stage – not to trap them in an attempt to recreate what they discovered weeks ago in a rehearsal room, but to construct the most intricate and detailed improvisational structure, that just happens to include speaking every word the playwright wrote in the order in which it was written. It was developed over a lifetime’s work by the acclaimed British director, Mike Alfreds – and outlined in his book ‘Different Every Night’. The second exciting feature was the process we have used to create the show.
