| Thanks for clarifying, I didn't have access to a script. And thanks for your additional explanation of what's going on in Willy's mind in that scene. It was an AMAZING moment. | |

| I've taught the play probably close to 50 times now, and EVERY single time I learn something new or find another layer. I'm a fan of the Dustin Hoffman film (it's the only one my school has), and I saw Philip Seymour do the role in 2012, and he was fantastic as well. Is there a video of the Dennehy performance??? I'd love to see him tackle it. |

| OMG!!! Thank you so much! Sorry Dustin, but I have a feeling you're about to be replaced. RIP Mr. Dennehy Thankfully your gifts remain with us in our hearts and on record! (My favourite movie as a child was COCOON, so I've admired him literally my whole life). |

| Sorry, the link I posted previously was just to a small excerpt at the beginning. Here is the whole thing on YouTube, in two parts. I've copied the URLs in the text right below here, so I could post both of them, and the actual link posted is to a great Charlie Rose interview with Dennehy and Arthur Miller at the time of the production. This video is with Ron Eldard, who replaced Kevin Anderson as Biff on Broadway. PART 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=867&v=DidKl6-6Tuw&feature=emb_logo PART 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZLMIRGj4fM&feature=emb_logo |

| Thanks so much for these links. I watched his scene with Charlie in Act II-- "you're the only friend I've got... isn't that a remarkable thing?" HEART. BROKEN. |

| ***I watched his scene with Charlie in Act II-- "you're the only friend I've got... isn't that a remarkable thing?" HEART. BROKEN.*** Yes, and that actor who played Charley -- Howard Witt -- was so perfectly cast and so wonderful in the role. Every time I see a production of DEATH OF A SALESMAN, I find it almost unbearable to watch -- yet fully believable -- that, even though Willie is in a desperate financial situation from the beginning of the play and then loses his job completely, he CANNOT accept the offer of a job from Charley simply because of his pride. |
