While it's great to see a free copy of Death of a Salesman out there and having Willy's lines highlighted is helpful, the no stage directions is a bit of a problem. The stage directions are very important for anyone wanting to read this play or who has been assigned to read this play for class. Miller (like Tennessee Williams) filled the stage directions with important clues to the lives of the characters and the mood/setting of the play. To read the play sans directions would be to eat cereal without the milk. It can be done but the result is dry and less satisfying.
