A View From the Bridge

Seattle Repertory Theatre
155 Mercer Street Seattle

Arthur Miller's passionate drama A View From the Bridge, like Death of a Salesman, is an award-winning play about Italian-American 1950s immigrant life that also examines the promises and failures of the American Dream. It's the story of Brooklyn longshoreman Eddie Carbone, a man who holds family and honor above all else -- and yet betrays them both. Eddie is infatuated with the orphaned niece he's raising as a daughter, but when she falls for one of her aunt's recently immigrated cousins, their lives are set on a tragic course.
