Antony Sher in King Lear
Royal Shakespeare Theatre, September 2016
The RSC is pairing America's greatest tragedy with Shakespeare's King Lear.
Gregory Doran is directing Sher in a production of Death of a Salesman in March 2015 to mark the centenary of Arthur Miller's birth. Now he will direct the actor in King Lear in the 400th anniversary year of Shakespeare's death.
King Lear will open in the summer of 2016.
Mr Doran said: "Death of a Salesman is without doubt, in my mind, the greatest American play of the 20th century.
"One of the reasons I feel justified in presenting this greatest of American tragedies, in our main house on Shakespeare's birthday this year, is that it sits in its rightful place on our stage alongside Shakespeare's greatest works.
"By linking it with King Lear, in sequence, with the same leading actor, and director, we assert that."
