Death of a Salesman Video

Again, it was neat to see how the plays are actually produced (we saw the Mother Courage production video last time). However, the Death of a Salesman video was much different than the backstage production of Mother Courage. The Death cast seemed like they were just sitting around, doing nothing, without a sense of urgency. There were so many crew/cast/etc that seemed completely unnecessary, and Dustin Hoffman acted like he was above everyone else working. Personally I do not many redeeming qualities in him. I was impressed with the Mother Courage video, but I am now questioning the credibility of those who say it's expensive and difficult to produce a play.
