I have ordered a copy of the play and will read and find it!!

My husband played Happy Loman when we were young … I never did the show, but I directed The Crucible and stage managed All My Sons.

By the way, I just extracted the phrase “strangers in the seats of the mighty” to google. I figured it was distinctive enough to get google’s attention. And it worked!

And I can’t place it in Death of a Salesman, which I have seen at least half a dozen times—although I can’t claim to have memorized it.
