Aussie Hollywood actors Anthony LaPaglia and Alison Whyte will star in the 1940 Pulitzer Prize-winning classic Death of a Salesman at QPAC’s Lyric Theatre from August 28 to September 6, 2026.
Arthur Miller’s critically acclaimed play is a modern tragedy that explores the American Dream and its consequences.
The production directed by Neil Armfield, stars LaPaglia (Without a Trace, Frasier, So I Married an Axe Murderer) as protagonist Willy Loman, and Whyte (Frontline, The Dressmaker) as Willy’s devoted wife Linda.
The duo previously starred in Death of a Salesman in 2023 and 2024 but the production did not visit Brisbane.
LaPaglia said the story of Willy Loman was “simply one of the greatest roles ever written and remains timeless in its creation of the tragic unravelling of a man’s identity after years of neglecting his relationships and true self-fulfilment.
“I was lucky enough to meet and work with Arthur Miller when I played Eddie Carbone in A View from the Bridge on Broadway in 1997, and I feel a deep affinity for his work,” he said.
“Even after 77 years, this play, like all great classics, is as powerful and relevant as ever.
“I cannot wait to finally bring it to Brisbane audiences.”
