Rebecca Lenkiewicz will adapt August Strindberg's The Dance of Death for a new tour opening in May.

Emily Bruni, Lindsay Duncan and Hilton McRae will star in the piece, which runs at the Ustinov Studio in Bath (19 May to 4 June) before visiting Oxford Playhouse (7 to 11 June), Cambridge Arts Theatre (14 to 18 June), Royal and Derngate, Northampton (21 to 23 June) before finishing its tour at the Arcola Theatre in London (28 June to 23 July).
