Andy Arnold is the director of Death of a Salesman.

In 1991, I took on the lease of a series of derelict railway arches in Glasgow and, over 17 years, transformed The Arches into an internationally acclaimed arts centre with its own in-house theatre company.  In 2008, I became Artistic Director of Tron Theatre, Glasgow – a role I held for fifteen years. In May 2024, Scotland’s theatre critics gave me a special award for my ‘outstanding contribution to Scottish theatre’.

Highlighted productions I have directed include the world premiere stage production of James Joyce’s Ulysses adapted by Dermot Bolger, the British premiere of Ballyturk by Enda Walsh, Shall Roger Casement Hang? by Peter Arnott, Cyprus Avenue by David Ireland, Scottish premières of works by Beckett, Tennessee Williams, and Arthur Miller, a whole range of new works and new adaptations, and a variety of site specific and promenade pieces – Metropolis The Theatre Cut, Dante’s Inferno, Seamus Heaney’s Beowulf, and Spend A Penny – a one to one performance piece in the Arches toilets. In 2023, I directed two deaf artists, Ramesh Meyyappan and Emmanuel Laborit, in a visual work I devised based on the film Les Enfants Du Paradis.  The piece was staged in Glasgow and Paris as a collaboration between Tron Theatre and International Visual Theatre, Paris.   In May/ June this year, I will be directing my own adaptation of Three Musketeers with a cast of fourteen Chinese actors at Shanghai Repertory Theatre.  The production will be staged in Mandarin.
