1Set in a 1950s Italian-American neighborhood by the Brooklyn Bridge, A View from the Bridge follows Eddie, an Italian immigrant who endures a fading relationship with his wife Beatrice while harboring a troubling obsession with her niece, Catherine, and a deep distrust and hatred for her lover, Rodolpho. On the surface a tale of obsession, this play as much about community and loyalty. Pulitzer-winning playwright Arthur Miller hoped to portray the lives of people living by the New York docks, from their tragic stories to the seedy corruption that punctuated their experiences, and it’s safe to say this production certainly captures these bleak nuances. The themes are uncomfortable, but it’s the kind of drama that has you gripped, unable to look away, desperately hoping it all works out in the end.
“Arthur Miller’s story of family, masculinity and immigrant struggles could seem dated but a brilliant cast bring out uncomfortably modern resonances.”
“This is a gripping revival of a Miller masterpiece – and West can take his place alongside the great past interpreters of the central role.”
“Aspects of the drama – the desperation of the migrants, the shrinking nature of poverty and a man’s inability to examine his own nature – resonate, even if the specific circumstances have dated.”
