Overview

Emmy®, Golden Globe® and Tony Award®-winner Anthony LaPaglia stars in the critically acclaimed production that has taken Australia by storm, arriving in Brisbane for a strictly limited season from August 2026.   

Hailed as one of the greatest plays of the 20th century – Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman is directed by the acclaimed Neil Armfield (Cloudstreet, The Secret River, The Diary of a Madman, Exit the King).   

Lauded for his critically acclaimed performance in A View from the Bridge on Broadway, Anthony LaPaglia returns to the world of Arthur Miller as Willy Loman, joined by a company of some of Australia’s finest actors including Helpmann Award and Silver Logie winner Alison Whyte (Faith Healer, The Dressmaker) and Josh Helman (Mad Max – Fury Road, X-Men), delivering a break-out stage performance as Biff Loman, and Ben O’Toole (Boy Swallows Universe for Netflix & 37 for Melbourne Theatre Company). 

Death of a Salesman is simply one of the most profound and moving works on the pursuit of success and the post-war American Dream.  

Experience this timeless Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece that has captivated audiences for generations in this once-in-a-lifetime theatrical event.  

  • The most amazing theatrical experience of my life.

    So gripping that the audience doesn’t make a sound, outstanding.
    Limelight

    The 20th century’s ‘best play’ is tragically relevant. Anthony LaPaglia’s salesman will convince you of that.

    The Guardian
  • ★★★★
    Anthony LaPaglia leads an electric, devastating tragedy.
