A View from the Bridge

Why see A View from the Bridge?

Arthur Miller's Masterpiece

A devastating portrait of the American Dream gone awry, Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge is one the theatre's greatest ever works. It centers on the tragic figure of Eddie Carbone, a hard-working Brooklyn longshoreman, who harbors a secret desire for his young niece Catherine. Don't miss this searing work from the Laguna Playhouse this fall, directed by David Ellenstein.

What Is The Story?

Eddie Carbone eeks out an existence by working the docks in 1950s Brooklyn, where he lives with his wife Beatrice and her young niece Catherine. Now a teenager, Catherine is blossoming into womanhood, eliciting a sexual longing in Eddie which he does his best to repress. His inner turmoil is forced to the surface by the arrival of two illegal Italian immigrants into the house, one of whom catches Catherine's eye, driving Eddie to try and assert his dominance.
