Death of a Salesman

PlayMakers Repertory Company · 2025

A projected title hangs to one side of the Loman home. Windows, signs, and city textures give the same set different surroundings as the play moves between the present and Willy’s memories.

Storyboarding the set

The storyboard positions a Wagner & Sons sign to the left of the house outline. The rendering keeps that upper-left area active while a moon and rows of windows fill the space behind the house.

Text and landscape cues
