DEATH OF A SALESMAN, Starring Tim Pigott-Smith, to Arrive in Scotland Next Summer

Starring Tim Pigott-Smith and directed by ABIGAIL GRAHAM, DEATH OF A SALESMAN will open in Northampton from SATURDAY 8 TO SATURDAY 29 APRIL, before touring across the UK with the only Scottish dates at KING'S THEATRE EDINBURGH, 20-24 June 2017.

Widely considered to be one of the greatest plays of the 20th century, Death of a Salesman is about the cost of not being able to let go of the American Dream.

Royal & Derngate Artistic Director James Dacre commented: 'Its central character, Willy Loman, is facing an uncertain future. On the brink of unemployment and haunted by missed opportunities, he feels abandoned by those around him and ignored by his country. Why does the world no longer work for him? Has his American dream become a nightmare? Death of a Salesman shows how this man, his family and his country face their uncertain future."

Arthur Miller's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece will be directed by acclaimed emerging director Abigail Graham whose production of Molly Sweeney played recently at The Print Room and Lyric Belfast. The iconic role of Willy Loman will be played by Tim Pigott-Smith, who in 2016 was nominated for both an Olivier and Tony Award for West End and Broadway hit King Charles III. Further casting will be announced early in 2017.

In 2015 Royal & Derngate was awarded the UK Theatre Management Award for Best Presentation of Touring Theatre and in 2016 Royal & Derngate was jointly awarded the UK Theatre Award for Best Touring Production for The Herbal Bed.

Tickets for Death of a Salesman at the King's Theatre Edinburgh will be on sale from 4 January 2017.
