Now I am excited: Arinze Kene and Sharon DClarke? This is now a very hot ticket. |

I'd assumed this was a West End show (I guess because of the Elliot Harper involvement?), sounds great as a Young Vic-sized show.

Also doesn't hurt to build up some buzz at a well-regarded non-West End venue before transferring to the West End or to Brooklyn (will William Hill take bets on future lives on theatrical productions? I'd put a fiver on this ending up in Brooklyn, based on nothing at all other than gut instinct).

It is strange though how Baz ended his article on Death of a Salesman by saying that Chris Harper was negotiating with a West End theatre when it was clearly part of the YV's new season.

He could be negotiating for the transfer - meaning both things could be true

An excellent afternoon at the Royal Exchange.
A monster of a play performed brilliantly, impeccably paced as the tensions build to the gut wrenching finale as Willy realises his final delusion.
As in all great plays, familiarity does not diminish its power and the hotel scene gets me every time as the realisation of my father’s equivalent forever changed the relationship.
Here’s to the scramble for Young Vic tickets on Monday.

After a day of theatre in Manchester, I’ve finally got the chance to post my thoughts on the Royal Exchange production I saw this afternoon. To sum the production up, it was an absolutely fantastic piece of theatre. Don Warrington as Willy Loman in my opinion gave an outstanding performance and to see him take the character on this downward spiral of a journey to it’s inevitable heart breaking outcome was an absolute pleasure to watch. Maureen Beattie was equally outstanding and gave a brilliant portrayal as Mrs Loman.
Having waited a long time to see a production of the play, this production didn’t disappoint and during the interval I got chatting to a couple of people around me and we all agreed that the directors decision to have a stripped back staging really helped as you could focus on the text and the performance.
If you’ve got a ticket to see this, you are in for a great time at the theatre. As an aside, I would like to say that whoever has done the programming of the productions this year has done a fantastic job. I’ve enjoyed all the productions I’ve seen in 2018 here and with the recent announcement for 2019, it looks like potentially another great year at the Royal Exchange.

Interesting to see that two directors are now being credited for the Young Vic production - Marianne Elliott and Miranda Cromwell.

Interesting to see that two directors are now being credited for the Young Vic production - Marianne Elliott and Miranda Cromwell. Miranda was the assistant for Company and one of two assistants for the Angels Broadway transfer, so I assume she's been 'promoted' as part of being mentored by Marianne across a few productions. Really interesting and perhaps something she's planning on taking forward- moving from assistant to co-directing with someone. |

Very interesting. Miranda Cromwell was the staff director on Angels in America at the National (and Associate for the B'way transfer) and is the Associate Director on Company, so very used to collaborating with Marianne Elliott. She's also worked with lots of other good people including Debbie Tucker Green, Tom Morris and the late Howard Davies, as well as directing the rather excellent Half Breed for Talawa. Brilliant that she's getting this opportunity.
Perhaps it's also an indication that Marianne might be splitting her time during the April rehearsal period......

I agree - I hope that it's a policy adopted by more and more directors - giving assistants and associates an opportunity to co-direct. It would certainly help broaden the field. Often, particularly in long running shows, the AD is the only one involved with rehearsing new casts (admittedly based on the work of the original director) yet you need a magnifying glass to find their credit. |

I'm trying to book an Under 25 ticket for a date in May (it's zone B, best available) and when I put it in my basket I get "X Seat 439" as a seat number, but I noticed it is the same for other dates as well, so I guess it's not a seat number but some sort of system code? How will I know what seat I got?

This is standard for the Young Vic - as you say, just a code. They may not have worked out the seating plan yet (eg for Jesus Hopped the A Train the plan has only just appeared on the site).
You'll either find out your seat when you pick up the ticket, or I think they will tell you if you call nearer the date. No way of checking online though which is a bit annoying.

The Young Vic has released extra tickets for most dates of Death of a Salesman. Also the seating plan is now available on the booking site - I believe if you booked direct you can call the box office and find out where your seat is (and presumably swap it if there are tickets available)
