DEATH OF A SALESMAN. BtVS Intertext/Allusion.
Death of a Salesman is a classic American play, first performed in 1949, an "American tragedy" about the final days of Willy Loman, a down-on-his-luck traveling salesman, and his family.
Death of a Salesman is referred to twice in Buffy.
In "Band Candy" Buffy refers to Willy Loman.
In "Restless" Willow dreams she has a role in a surreal production of the play, directed by a cravat-wearing Giles, which includes a cowboy (played by Riley), a vampire (Harmony), and a flapper (Buffy).
*The presence of the cowboy may have been suggested by the desire of Biff, one of Willy Loman's sons, to get a job working in the American west.)
