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.

Alfieri is a lawyer in his fifties who is the narrator in this play.

Eddie Carbone is forty and a longshoreman working on the docks near Brooklyn Bridge. Eddie is married to a woman called Beatrice. Catherine is Beatrice's niece and she lives with Eddie and Beatrice. Catherine announces that she wants to leave school as she has been offered a job in a plumbing company as a secretary. Eddie is very protective of Catherine and wants her to stay on and get an education. Eddie's cousins Marco and Rodolpho arrive from Italy to stay. Marco is married with three children and has left Italy in search of work. Rodolpho is not married, he dreams of being rich and returning to Italy with a motorcycle. Marco tells them that when you have no wife, you dream. Catherine and Rodolpho begin to date and Eddie gets annoyed as he is very possessive. Eddie objects to the relationship between Catherine and Rodolpho because secretly he is jealous. Eddie confides in Alfieri the lawyer because he believes that Rodolpho is using Catherine to get a passport so that he can move permanently to the states. Alfieri reminds Eddie that he can do nothing about it. Eddie tries to provoke a fight with Rodolpho and things start to unravel in this thought provoking play by PODS showing at the Paget Rooms on Wednesday-Saturday, March 19-22, at 7.30pm.
