I thought the plot developed quickly and kept me interested. The actors did a great job with displaying a range of emotion.Written on Apr 03 2008

A powerful play, with an outstanding cast. We would not have ventured out to Crystal City had we not had the opportunity to get discounted tickets through Goldstar.Written on Apr 02 2008

More Information About A View from the Bridge
Description
Brooklyn longshoreman Eddie Carbone lives in a tight-knit Italian neighborhood with his wife Beatrice and orphaned niece Catherine, whose emerging independence and womanhood disturb him. When two of Beatrice's impoverished Sicilian cousins enter the country illegally, Catherine falls in love with one of them and agrees to marry. As he desperately tries to keep his family from unraveling, Eddie's feelings for his niece turn into an obsession he can neither understand nor acknowledge. His actions have far-reaching effects in the community and lead to a climatic confrontation in a tale of love, betrayal and revenge.
By Arthur Miller
Directed by Daniel Aukin
Arthur Miller has written some of the most important American plays of the 20th century; he continued writing into his 80s. He began writing plays in college. Miller received national attention when All My Sons opened on Broadway in 1947, earning the New York Drama Critics Circle Award as Best Play. Two years later, Death of a Salesman premiered and went on to win both a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award. He premiered The Crucible in 1953, using the Salem witch-hunts as an allegory for the communist hysteria created by Senator Joseph McCarthy. A View from the Bridge followed, and in 1961 he wrote his first produced screenplay, "The Misfits," for his wife, Marilyn Monroe. He returned to the stage in 1964 with the autobiographical After the Fall and Incident at Vichy. In 1968, his play The Price ran more than 400 performances on Broadway. The Ride Down Mt. Morgan played on Broadway in the early 1990s, and a revival of Miller's 1940 play The Man Who Had All the Luck came to Broadway in 2002.
About the Ticket Supplier: Arena Stage
Arena Stage today stands as a flagship American theater. Arena Stage was one of the first not-for-profit theaters in the United States, as well as a pioneer of the regional theater movement. It was the first regional theater to transfer a production to Broadway, the first invited by the U.S. State Department to tour behind the Iron Curtain, and the first to receive a Tony Award. Taking a leadership role in extending theater's horizons, Arena Stage has implemented groundbreaking policies and programs, promoting diversity in all aspects of theater, from theatergoing to production.
The Arena Stage legacy of world-class productions includes vast epics, charged dramas, rousing musicals, and probing profiles. From the monumental to the developmental, Arena Stage has helped build the canon of American theater. While they produce American classics, Arena Stage premieres new American plays and supported works in progress. They've nurtured artistic growth and engaged the community, broadening and intensifying the theatrical experience for one and all. And yet, in spite of it all, in their second half-century they see themselves as more fresh, restless and dynamic than ever.
