This is the production I've been raving about ever since I saw it on Broadway in 1999 - to the extent that some readers wrote to me, wondering if it was ever going to get here.
Then - as now - Brian Dennehy will play Willy Loman, the weary New England salesman who has had just about enough of the life he's barely living.
Dennehy will work with the same director, Robert Falls, and producer David Richenthal.
The great British award-winning actress Clare Higgins has the role of Willy's staunchest ally, his wife Linda, while Douglas Henshall and Mark Bazeley play their sons Biff and Happy.
Although Dennehy and Falls worked on the play in Chicago's Goodman Theatre (where Falls is artistic director) well before it went to New York, they are treating the London production, which begins performances at the Lyric Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue on May 10, as if they are starting from scratch.
Dennehy is keen to see how audiences here will react to what many regard as one of America's best plays.
'There's something about this play, as far as Americans are concerned, that absolutely touches their soul,' explains the actor.
This, in spite of the fact that - as he puts it - the play is 'highly critical of the whole American dream, that has a tendency to turn into a nightmare'.
He continues: ' Everybody sees in Willy their fathers, their uncles.' During a break in rehearsals, Falls explains how he sees society today as still being driven by a ferocious desire to 'make it' - in the manner of Loman - whether it be hustling on the phone or in the street, trying to sell something to anybody.
'Yeah, and that's just the drug business,' Dennehy jokes.
Henshall revealed that Death Of A Salesman had always been his favourite play 'and you come in here, to rehearsals, and suddenly realise that everybody feels that way. It touches people in such a personal way that I don't think it has aged at all.' With Miller's passing earlier this year, the play has gained an added level of resonance.
'The last thing he said to me was: "See you all in London,"' Falls told me.
Go to see Death Of A Salesman at the Lyric and see how the play speaks to you.
