12 years of Nicholas Hytner's National Theatre in pictures

As the artistic director bows out, we look back through some of the productions under his tenure

National Theatre artistic director Nicholas Hytner is stepping down from his role after 12 years in the post.

To mark his time on the southbank, we take a look back over some of the many productions since he started at the National, from Henry V in 2003 starring Adrian Lester through to Man and Superman starring Ralph Fiennes, which is currently running in the Lyttelton Theatre.
