ARTHUR Miller’s powerful, moving and timeless drama A View from the Bridge is being revived this autumn in a York Theatre Royal and Royal & Derngate Northampton co-production.
York Theatre Royal associate director Juliet Forster directs the production, which is at the theatre from September 20 to October 12.
Set in the shadows of Brooklyn Bridge in 1950s New York, this classic of our time tells the story of respected Eddie Carbone, who lives a life of seeming stability with his wife and niece in a tight knit, immigrant community bound by moral codes of justice and honour. The surprise arrival of his Sicilian cousins unravels all that they have built together.
Tom Bird, executive director of York Theatre Royal, said: “A View From The Bridge is one of the finest plays ever written and despite being over 60 years old is a fitting story for our times. We are delighted to be making it in York.
