TL;DR

Joe Mantello’s Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman, anchored by Nathan Lane’s hypnotic Willy and Laurie Metcalf’s lucid Linda, uses minimalist, period-agnostic design to sharpen Miller’s meditation on the American Dream and white entitlement; the three-hour tragedy is haunting and timely, with Lane’s brassy virtuosity and Metcalf’s precise humanity turning the familiar tale into a stark, modern mirror.
