A View from the Bridge
- Artists
- Mike Tweddle, Arthur Miller
Second production in the inaugural Factory Company season at Tobacco Factory Theatres.
Following Adele Thomas’s dynamic production of Macbeth, the Factory Company stages an in-the-round production of Arthur Miller’s intense family drama.
The production will be directed by the theatre’s Artistic Director Mike Tweddle in his first production for Tobacco Factory Theatres.
A View From the Bridge is a gripping tragedy that is as powerful and pertinent as ever. Eddie Carbone is an honourable, hard-working man who has raised his niece Catherine like a daughter and loves her like nothing else.
When his wife’s cousins arrive from Italy he’s proud to offer them safe harbour, but when Catherine falls for one of them, Eddie’s dark and dangerous struggle begins to surface.
In this fascinating and provocative exploration of a complicated man and the unravelling of his world, Miller exposes a society that values different people in tragically different ways.
“It’s utterly action-packed and thrilling, and features the terrible demise of a flawed man and the impact on wider society,” Mike enthuses. “Miller’s writing is perfect. He tells a domestic story with microscopic detail and insight, at the same time as offering a powerful political critique that raises vital questions around immigration, gender and morality. And he doesn’t stop for breath!”
