INSPIRED by the true story of a Brooklyn dockworker who informed on two illegal immigrants, Arthur Miller revised A View from the Bridge for a successful London production.

Eddie Carbone lives with his wife Beatrice and his orphaned niece, Catherine. Eddie is protective and kind toward Catherine, although his feelings grow into something more as the play develops. His attachment to her is brought into perspective by the arrival from Italy of Beatrice's two cousins. They have entered the country illegally hoping to leave behind hunger and unemployment for a better life in America. Catherine falls for one of the illegal immigrants and this causes Eddie to act out of character and the play then develops to explore the complexities of human relationships.

PODS is fortunate to have enticed their own American to play the part of Eddie and this has brought an authenticity to the role in the form of Alex Nagle. Alex is an experienced actor and currently lives in Nelson. He has committed to travel to Penarth each week to rehearse as he wants to ensure that the audience really can see the struggles Eddie has during the course of the play.

Tickets are now on sale for the play which is showing at the Paget Rooms, Penarth on Wednesday-Saturday, March 19-22, doors open at 7pm. Adults £10, concessions £8 available from Brian Gardner 290 2071 2260. Tenovous Penarth, email ticketsecretary@pods-penarth.org or online www.pods-penarth.org.
