Wu Shiliang in Salesman in China, Stratford Festival. In 1983, American playwright Arthur Miller traveled to China to direct 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. Re-telling of this daring act of cross-cultural cross-pollination on stage. Inspired by memories of Arthur Miller and Ying Ruocheng.
