The first Amahric production of ‘Death of a Salesman’, a play written by one of America’s leading playwrights Arthur Miller (1915-2005) opened at the Ethiopian National Theatre Sunday, almost seventy years after the original American production. The play, the story of the final years of a failed traveling salesman, Willy Loman that won the author a Pulitzer Prize carried an Amahric title ‘የአባወራ ጉዞ’ (Ye Abawera Guzo). Alemyaheu, one of the earliest Addis Ababa University Theatre Arts graduates, already translated Oscar Wilde’s play Lady Windermere’s Fan and adapted Tewfiq al Hakim’s play. The powerful cast includes Tesfaye Gebrehana as Willie Loman, Genet Asefa as Linda, Biruk Minase as Biff, and Henok Berihun as Happy. The play will be presented to high school and college students and teachers in Addis Ababa and Bahir Dar, Dessie, Debre Berhan, Jimma, and Hawassa, he said.
