About the Show
Spotlighting the promise and pressures of the American Dream, Arthur Miller’s seminal play A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE returns to the off-Broadway stage for the first time since 1965. Academy Award winner and Tony Award nominee Sam Rockwell leads an all-star cast including Tony Award nominee Marin Ireland and Tony and Emmy Award nominee Alfred Molina, directed by Tony Award Nominee Neil Pepe. The strictly limited 13-week engagement begins performances November 27 at the historic Ellen Stewart Theatre at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, piloting a sustainable framework where commercial and nonprofit institutions actively support one another. Arthur Miller’s A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE tells the story of Eddie Carbone, a Brooklyn longshoreman whose tightly held world begins to unravel when his wife Beatrice’s cousins, Marco and Rodolpho, arrive from Italy seeking a new life in America. As Catherine, the niece Eddie has raised as his own, falls in love with Rodolpho, Eddie’s protectiveness curdles into jealousy, setting him on a course toward an irreversible act of betrayal that fractures his family and his community. Set in the immigrant neighborhoods of 1950s Brooklyn, Miller’s searing tragedy explores the tensions between devotion and desire, justice and loyalty. Its questions about belonging, identity, and who gets to call America home remain as urgent today as ever. Strictly Limited Engagement. 13 Weeks Only.
