A View From The Bridge
Acknowledged as one of the great classics of the twentieth century, Arthur Miller’s play A View from the Bridge, opens at the Duke of York’s Theatre for a limited season from January ‘09. In a new production starring Ken Stott and directed by Lindsay Posner, this play proved to be a milestone in American theatrical history.
Dockworker Eddie Carbone has made a good life for himself and his wife and niece in 1950’s Brooklyn. As a former immigrant himself, Eddie is happy to house and protect his wife’s Italian cousins who arrive illegally in pursuit of the ‘American Dream’. What Eddie doesn’t know is that this act of kindness will have a shattering effect on his whole life, and the lives of those he loves.
This rarely staged play by arguably American’s finest playwright, whose other landmark works include The Crucible and Death of a Salesman is an unmissable event.
KEN STOTT is well known for his TV and film roles including: Messiah, The Vice, Rebus and Shallow Grave. His theatre roles include: Yasmina Reza's Art, God of Carnage and Heroes.
LINDSAY POSNER won two Olivier awards for his Royal Court production of Death and the Maiden and has most recently directed Fool for Love and Fiddler on the Roof in the West End.
