The play 'Death of a Salesman', directed by Kim Jae-yeop, is being performed at the Sejong Center M Theater in Seoul until March 3rd. Originally written by Arthur Miller, this classic explores the tragic life of Willy Loman, a 30-year salesman. The production stays true to the original, highlighting themes of capitalism and the American Dream. Director Kim focuses on the compatibility of characters and the nature of Korean family dynamics, drawing parallels between 1930s America and modern Korea. Despite its three-hour runtime, the performance has been well-received and tickets are sold out. While the play is lauded for its universal themes, younger audiences note its outdated gender sensibilities, as seen in Willy's treatment of his wife, Linda. This production adds a uniquely Korean perspective to a timeless American play.
