A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE
By Arthur Miller

Designed by Peter McKintosh. Lighting Designer Paul Pyant
THEATRE ROYAL HAYMARKET
23 May – 3 August 2024
Theatre Royal Bath Productions with Len Blavatnik and Danny Cohen for Access Entertainment present Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge starring BAFTA Award winner Dominic West (The Wire, The Crown), Olivier and Tony Award nominee Kate Fleetwood (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Macbeth, London Road) and BAFTA Cymru Award winner Callum Scott Howells, star of Channel 4’s It’s A Sin and West End phenomenon Cabaret.
The production will open in London at the Theatre Royal Haymarket with performances from 23 May to 3 August 2024. 100 tickets for each performance will be available for £20 to those 25 years old or under.
This highly anticipated West End run will follow an already sold-out engagement at Theatre Royal Bath’s Ustinov Studio from 16 February to 16 March 2024.
Eddie Carbone is an outwardly straightforward man with a strong sense of decency. For Eddie it is a privilege to welcome his wife’s Italian cousins to the land of freedom. But as his niece Catherine falls for one of the visitors, Eddie struggles to control his fierce jealousy, tormented by his own barely concealed lust for the girl. As passions rise, they all soon learn that some freedoms have to come at a terrible price.
The cast also includes Nia Towle, recently seen in the West End’s The Ocean at the End of the Lane; Martin Marquez (Hotel Babylon, Les Miserables), Pierro Niel-Mee (Apple TV’s Slow Horses; Machinal and The Tempest, Ustinov Studio), Jimmy Gladdon (The Score, Theatre Royal Bath), Michael Cusick, (Noises Off, West End), Rob Pomfret (A Voyage Round My Father, Theatre Royal Bath and tour, The Mousetrap, ITV’s The Bay), Santino Smith (Sadie, Lyric Theatre Belfast and BBC4), with further casting to be announced.
Pulitzer Prize-winner Arthur Miller is one of the most highly regarded American playwriters of the 20th Century with work including All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, and The Misfits. His timeless masterpiece A View from the Bridge is a passionate study of one man’s place in the close-knit Italian-American community in 1950s New York.
A View from the Bridge was first performed as a one-act verse drama on Broadway in 1955 before being revised for its West End premiere a year later, directed by Peter Brook and starring Richard Harris and Anthony Quayle. The play has since been produced for stage, film, television, radio and as an opera, starring many notable actors and winning numerous awards.
Presented by Theatre Royal Bath Productions with Len Blavatnik and Danny Cohen for Access Entertainment, A View from the Bridge by Arthur Miller is directed by Lindsay Posner, designed by Peter McKintosh with lighting designs by Paul Pyant.
