We are pleased to announce that after several years of unavailability, “A View from the Bridge” has been released by the Miller Trust for public performances.

“A View From The Bridge” is a compelling and exciting drama that delves into such issues as incest, manliness and justice.   It is the story of Eddie, an illiterate longshoreman, and his anger towards his niece`s affection for an illegal Italian immigrant staying at his house.
The complicated relationships between these and many other characters in the play, makes “A View From The Bridge” a truly great piece of theatre.   The play has ingredients of a Greek tragedy, complete with Alfieri, a narrator that fulfils the same purpose of Sophocles`s chorus from his plays about Oedipus and Antigone.

“A View From The Bridge” is also a direct response to the divisions caused by the House UnAmerican Activities Committee.   Eddie Carbone`s betrayal might echo the influential betrayal by Miller`s friend, Elia Kazan (to the HUCA) which Miller considered shameful.

Leitheatre  will proudly present “A View From The Bridge” by Arthur Miller at the Church Hill Theatre, Morningside Road, Edinburgh, for four performances only, from Wednesday 17^th to Saturday 20^th November, 2010 at 7.30 p.m. nightly.
