From Brooklyn to Glasgow Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge is one of the most intense, tightly wound tragedies of 20th-century theatre, a play that simmers with resentment and suppressed emotion before boiling over in its final, devastating moments. Originally written in 1955, it follows Eddie Carbone, a longshoreman in Brooklyn whose carefully contained world is shattered by the arrival of two Italian immigrant brothers, Marco and Rodolpho.

Rosie Morgan-Males’ production of A View from the Bridge at the Oxford Playhouse, produced by the Oxford University student company Labyrinth Productions, delivers a strikingly intense and authentic telling of Arthur Miller’s tragedy.
