On Wednesday night, I saw "Death of a Salesman" performed at the Yale Rep. It brought up a lot of "stuff" for me. The mixture of deeply personal and broad social themes is so masterful in that play. It is the personal themes that resonated most poignantly with me though: Marital infidelity; kids facing their parents' humanness for the first time; the cost of lying to ourselves about our own truth; the destructive nature of denial, expectations and subsequent resentments....brought it all home!
