Soulpepper brings back a great theatre classic with their remount of Death of a Salesman at Toronto’s Young Centre for the Performing Arts.
Death of a Salesman is not an unknown play. Chances are, the bulk of you who are reading this now have read it or seen it, if only once, before you hit the age of twenty-two. You might’ve suffered through it in ninth grade English, or played Willy Loman with great and depressive gumption in your college’s drama club’s production.

Why deny it? We’re all suckers for history, why else would everyone agree that “history repeats itself”? For this week’s list of theatre on the affordable side, we’ve got some shows that either explore history, were written way-back-when in theatre history, contemplate alternate history or are a revisit to our most recent history. Sometimes we all need a blast from the past to escape from the present.
