The National Theatre has announced 15 productions of new plays and fresh adaptations by leading writers.

The acclaimed new Young Vic production of Death of a Salesman, directed by Marianne Elliot, will transfer to the West End's Picadilly Theatre.

Following her recent award-winning success on Company and Angels in America, Marianne Elliott co-directs Death of a Salesman with Miranda Cromwell.

Seventy years on from its Broadway opening, Marianne Elliott and Miranda Cromwell present Arthur Miller's masterpiece afresh in an inspired, shattering revival. One key change - making the 1940s Loman family African-American - gives the play a whole new texture, while retaining its searing condemnation of the American Dream's false promises.

'Forget, forgive, conclude and be agreed...' Sure, the Almeida's The Tragedy of King Richard the Second is one you won't soon forget, thanks to stand out performances from Simon Russell Beale and Leo Bill. Even staunch devotees of the original text will be able to forgive Jeff James' edit, which lifts and drives the piece. But to conclude: it's unlikely that all will agree on Joe Hill-Gibbins' chaotic and sometimes polarizing vision.
