The New York company includes Khris Davis as Biff and McKinley Belcher III as Happy - Willy’s two sons, one a derailed golden boy haunted by his unrealized promise, the other a compulsive philanderer unable to relinquish his juvenile illusions. Rising in tragic stature as the play barrels toward its shattering conclusion, these performers make the production unmissable. Wendell Pierce (best known for his work on “The Wire”) and Sharon D Clarke (lauded last season in the Broadway revival of “Caroline, or Change”) reprise their heralded performances of Willy and Linda Loman. A 21st century Miller would no doubt approve of the progress of his evergreen critique of the American dream. At its best, however, this production brings a heightened societal awareness to an anguished family drama that is already unusually sociopolitically astute.
