THE Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) has just announced that Gregory Doran’s production of Arthur Miller’s 1949 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Death of a Salesman, will transfer to the Noël Coward Theatre in London’s West End, following its run in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.

The entire Stratford cast, led by Antony Sher and Harriet Walter has received recent critical acclaim and will transfer for a 10-week run from May 9 until July 18.

RSC artistic director, Gregory Doran, said: “Death of a Salesman is, without doubt in my mind, the greatest American play of the 20th Century and it has taken its rightful place, alongside Shakespeare, on our main stage in Stratford-upon-Avon, to mark the centenary of Arthur Miller’s birth.

“I am delighted we are able to share this production with London audiences at the Noël Coward Theatre, and am grateful to Interbrand, our Official Brand partner, for their sponsorship.”

This production joins three other RSC shows in London this spring - the transfer of the RSC/ETT touring production of A Mad World My Masters, which will play at the Barbican for two weeks from April 29, Tom Morton-Smith’s new play Oppenheimer, which is currently playing at the Vaudeville Theatre until May 23 and Matilda The Musical, which continues to play to packed houses at the Cambridge Theatre.
