In 1948 Arthur Miller retreated to a log cabin with only two lines of a new play in his mind. Six weeks later he emerged with Death of a Salesman - a painful examination of American working life and consumerism. Opening on Broadway the following year, Miller's extraordinary masterpiece changed the course of modern theatre. In creating the character of Willy Loman, the down and out destructively insecure anti-hero, Miller himself defined his aim as being 'to set forth what happens when a man does not have a grip on the forces of life.'
