Van Hove emphasised the horrifying, elemental tragedy at the heart of Arthur Miller’s play. It is an inexorable force, and the characters are helpless to stop it – just as we would be, with the stripped-back framing making this story feel both ancient as the Greeks and terrifyingly close to home.

Mark Strong, Nicola Walker and Phoebe Fox all gave unforgettable performances as, respectively, longshoreman Eddie Carbone, his wife Beatrice, and niece Catherine, who Eddie, fatally, has incestuous feelings for. The production won three Olivier Awards and two Tonys.

A jukebox musical like no other, this curious show featured the music of David Bowie – and the trippiness of the late singer’s more experimental output. Inspired by a Walter Tevis sci-fi novel, as adapted by playwright Enda Walsh, it centred on an alien who is trapped on Earth, unable to leave or to die.

Van Hove’s production at King’s Cross Theatre divided critics, but featured undeniably powerful performances from Michael C Hall and Sophia Anne Caruso, Bowie bangers like “Life on Mars?” and “Heroes”, otherworldly visuals, and, at its best, a weirdly transcendent experience for audiences.

Ruth Wilson anchored Van Hove’s agonising production of Ibsen’s play as the woman stuck in a suffocating marriage, torn between despair and demonic rage at her circumstances. This National Theatre production, featuring a script by Patrick Marber, trapped Wilson’s Hedda in a white cube: a sort of gleaming prison.

The production also featured strong turns from Kyle Soller, Sinead Matthews and Rafe Spall, effective use of music (including Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and Jodi Mitchell’s “Blue”), and a particularly sickening reading of the play’s gendered power dynamics.

Van Hove gave us his eerie take on another Arthur Miller work in this all-star Broadway version. Rather controversially, Van Hove made the witchcraft in the play (which is usually treated as imagined, part of the accusations of a tragically hysterical, paranoid community) a real force, turning this into a full-blown horror story.

Ben Whishaw, Sophie Okonedo, Saoirse Ronan and Bill Camp led the company as, respectively, the stubborn John Proctor, his accused wife, the angry teenager who points the finger at her, and the reverend who is torn over the accusations. The powerful show received four Tony Award nominations.

The 1976 American movie Network, written by Paddy Chayefsky and directed by Sidney Lumet, feels alarmingly prophetic in its story of a news anchor who, after becoming “mad as hell”, becomes a ratings sensation thanks to his furious populist rants. Lee Hall’s incisive stage adaptation for the National Theatre proved its contemporary resonance.

Van Hove’s ingenious production used live cameras and screens to immerse us in the setting and show the power and potential danger of the medium. Bryan Cranston was a force in the lead role, winning an Olivier Award and also a Tony when the play transferred to Broadway.

Van Hove updated another classic film the following year, this time the fabulously savage Hollywood satire All About Eve from 1950 about an ageing Broadway star, Margo Channing, and the ambitious superfan, Eve Harrington, who becomes her assistant while scheming to replace her.

Gillian Anderson and Lily James succeeded Bette Davis and Anne Baxter in the West End production, supported by Monica Dolan, Stanley Townsend and Julian Ovenden. Van Hove again merged the worlds of theatre and film with the use of technology to give us a queasily resonant version of this timeless tale.

Taking on one of the most iconic musicals in history, created by Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Arthur Laurents, and Jerome Robbins, is a seriously bold move, and Van Hove gambled big with his gritty, defiantly modern Broadway production. His version featured graffiti, tattoos, streetwear and iPhones, plus live-streaming of some scenes.

Inevitably, this was something of a marmite show, but many were impressed by the talented young diverse cast, including the captivating Shereen Pimentel as Maria and Yesenia Ayala as Anita, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s athletic choreography, and the sharply updated social commentary, tapping into police brutality and #MeToo.

Van Hove reunites with Bryan Cranston for his latest Miller revival. Cranston plays self-made businessman Joe Keller, whose son Larry disappeared while serving during the Second World War. His wife Kate refuses to accept the loss, while their other son longs to move forward. Joe, meanwhile, harbours a terrible secret.

The West End cast also features Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths), Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon) and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) in this heart-breaking family tragedy and searing indictment of the American Dream.
