A View From the Bridge

A View From The Bridge is the story about longshoreman Eddie Carbone, his wife Beatrice, and his seventeen-year-old niece, Catherine.

Beatrice invites her two illegal immigrant cousins to live with them until better accommodations can be arranged. Their impact on the household is felt immediately.

The play asks, how do we find commonality between different people? What is the experience of immigrating to the United States? How do you cope with being part of a larger society, but still hold on to your roots? In our current political climate, A View From The Bridge is as topical and relevant as it was when it first opened in 1956.
