A View From the Bridge
by Arthur Miller
directed by Stephen Cox

March 6 – 21, 2026

The tragedy of a good, simple man ( a Brooklyn longshoreman) whose subconscious sexual attraction to the seventeen year old niece that he has raised as a daughter, collides with her attraction to one of his wife’s illegal immigrant cousins whom he has taken into his home out of his own generosity and love of his wife. Extremely moving tragedy with scattered humorous moments displaying both the air of 1950’s Brooklyn and a timeless, universal sense of the human condition. Contains subthemes relevant to current topics of controvery: such as the treatment of illegal aliens and anyone who seems “different” from the norm. Script published by Dramatists Play Service.
