In 1978, Arthur Miller saw a play in China and was asked to offer his expertise critique. A few years later, Arthur Miller was asked to direct "Death of a Salesman" in Beijing. Complimentary tickets were given away to the audience for a preview performance. Arthur was appalled at the audiences' behavior as they talked throughout the entire presentation. Miller's main concern was that his play would be seen as a political statement instead of a work of art. However, opening night arrived and his play was very well received.
