News Miller's Man Who Had All the Luck Opens at London's Donmar March 5 The Donmar Warehouse's revival of Arthur Miller's 1944 play The Man Who Had All the Luck officially opens March 5 following previews that began Feb. 28.

The production will run through April 5; a tour, beginning April 8, will play Salford's Lowry, the Liverpool Playhouse and the Hall for Cornwall in Truro.

Miller's American fable revolves around one man's struggle to change his fate – and asks the question, "Is there such a thing as too much luck?" David Beeves' life can't get much better – but as the lives of those around him begin to crumble, he starts to question his own identity.

Directed by Sean Holmes, who makes his Donmar directorial debut with the production, the cast comprises Andrew Buchan, Felix Scott and Michelle Terry.

Terry, who playks Hester Flak, has appeared in Love's Labour's Lost (Shakespeare's Globe) and The Winter's Tale, Pericles, Days of Signficance and The Crucible (all RSC).
