2nd Story Theatre Presents:

I saw Death of a Salesman on Friday night, and if you haven't seen it, I suggest you run, don't walk, to your phone, dial 401-247-4200, and reserve your tickets immediately. It's that good.

It's a tragedy, but such a beautiful tragedy, and it's played so well. Bob Colonna puts in a masterful performance, (worthy of the standing ovation he got the night I saw it) but all of the cast puts in strong performances. (especially Lynne Collinson as Linda, and Joe Oullette as Biff) I'd credit Ed Shea with wringing from his cast top notch work, and stripping away a lot of the proscenium 50's artifice in the play. The show is played in the round, with almost no props or set, and it really makes the play sing. Another beautiful moment in the play is when Willy is in his dream world, and we the audience can hear all of the cast reciting pieces of their past and future scenes with him-- replaying over and over the scenes that have haunted (and will haunt) him. It's breath-taking. My happy news about the show is that it's being extended for one extra week. Three extra shows March 27,28,29 all at 8 pm. (and $10 tickets) have been added to the normal schedule (which was to end March 23)

I can't recommend this play highly enough. Go and see it!
