The Loman Family Picnic
by Donald Margulies

It's 1965 and we are in Brooklyn, New York.

 

Herbie sells lighting fixtures, is chronically overworked and underpaid;

Doris, his wife, tells herself repeatedly (and whomever may be listening) that she loves her life even though, as the play begins, she is shredding her wedding dress;

Stewie, their older son, eagerly awaits his bar mitzvah with an eye less on its religious aspects than on the potential loot to be gained in gifts;

all the while Mitchell, 11, notes parallels between his family and Arthur Miller's fictional Loman Family.

This hysterically funny drama of a 1960's Jewish family coming apart at the seams as their son becomes a Bar Mitzvah includes Willy! a heartwarming musical based on Death of a Salesman.

Sacha Reich
