"MY HEAD FEELS LIKE A BRIDGE THAT ALL OF BEIJING HAS BEEN WALKING OVER."

In 1983, playwright Arthur Miller made history by travelling to China to direct a production of his classic play Death of a Salesman. Working with the Beijing People's Art Theatre, Miller and his collaborators struggled to bridge the gap between languages, cultures and national identities for an audience long shut off from the West. Enjoying its world première at Stratford's Avon Theatre, Salesman in China retells this daring act of cultural cross-pollination on stage.

Please note: This play is presented in English and Mandarin with surtitles
