Antony Sher, Harriet Walter and Alex Hassell to Star in RSC's West-End-Bound DEATH OF A SALESMAN

Antony Sher, Harriet Walter and Alex Hassell will star in the Royal Shakespeare Company's DEATH OF A SALESMAN from March 26. RSC Artistic Director Gregory Doran helms Arthur Miller's 1949 play in a West-End-hopeful production, according to the Daily Mail.

Following their performances as Falstaff and Prince Hal in Henry IV Parts I & II (2014/15), Sher and Hassell play Willy Loman and his son Biff. They are joined by Walter as Willy's loyal wife Linda.

The RSC celebrates the centenary of Miller's birth with this upcoming production of one of the greatest American tragedies ever written.

The RSC's official description of the show reads: "In the land of the free, each man is in charge of his own destiny. Willy Loman knows and cherishes this truth. After a life of honest hard work, it's Willy's birthright to retire with his loving wife and watch his two athletic, handsome sons continue his legacy. Yet as old age begins to take hold and retirement beckons, Willy's dream seems further away than ever. Decades of graft have somehow failed to translate into wealth and his eldest son refuses to follow the path his father has chosen for him. As actions buried in his past re-surface, Willy struggles to reconcile his long cherished dream with the life he has actually lived."
