A View from The Bridge at Duke of York's

Acknowledged as one of the great classics of the twentieth century, Arthur Miller's electrifying and deeply moving play A View From the Bridge proved to be a milestone in American theatrical history: it will be rediscovered in a new production starring Ken Stott, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Hayley Atwell, directed by Olivier Award-winning Lindsay Posner.
 
Dockworker Eddie Carbone has made a good life for himself and his wife and niece in 1950's Brooklyn. From an immigrant family 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.

Arthur Miller is arguably America's finest playwright, with his other landmark works including The Crucible and Death of A Salesman. Lindsay Posner (Death and the Maiden, Fiddler on the Roof and Carousel) directs. 

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.

Academy Award-nominated American actress, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio is best known for her role as Carmen in The Color of Money, as well as for her roles as Lindsey Brigman in The Abyss and Maid Marian in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Hayley Atwell was most recently seen in the films of  Brideshead Revisited and The Duchess. She has also starred in Major Barbara and The Man of Mode at the National Theatre and Women Beware Women for the RSC.
