Can the street as an emblem of American culture be represented in the theatre? E. Rice's Street Scene (1928) presents a New York slum street, inhabited by migrants as yet unfavoured by fortune. A. Miller's Death of a Salesman (1949) shows the American highways where commerce flows and where the lives of those who delusively believe they are partaking in the great feast are worn away. The poetical Main Street of Our Town (1938) by T. Wilder is unique for those who pass along it and for the spectators who recreate it with their imagination.

Abstract

Can the street as an emblem of American culture be represented in the theatre? E. Rice's Street Scene (1928) presents a New York slum street, inhabited by migrants as yet unfavoured by fortune. A. Miller's Death of a Salesman (1949) shows the American highways where commerce flows and where the lives of those who delusively believe they are partaking in the great feast are worn away. The poetical Main Street of Our Town (1938) by T. Wilder is unique for those who pass along it and for the spectators who recreate it with their imagination.
