National Theatre Live in HD: A View From the Bridge

Arthur Miller confronts the American dream in this passionate tale about a Brooklyn longshoreman (Mark Strong) and an unspeakable secret.

BFVAC - Loew Auditorium
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Films
Fee required.

Don’t miss a stellar cast led by Mark Strong (The Imitation Game; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) in the Young Vic’s ‘magnetic, electrifying, astonishingly bold’ production. The Evening Standard, Guardian and Independent rated it their top theatre pick of 2014.

The great playwright Arthur Miller confronts the American dream in this dark and passionate tale. The story revolves around the central character Eddie Carbone’s unhealthy, possessive love for his 17-year-old niece, who has lived with Eddie and his wife since the death of her mother years earlier. When the family take in two illegal immigrants from Italy, Eddie seethes with anger and resentment as the young, innocent Catherine falls in love with the younger of the two brothers. The tension builds inexorably, and flares into violent confrontation and betrayal. Like the lawyer who narrates the story, we watch the action appalled, knowing that something dreadful is going to happen. It is just a question of when, and how. (180m)
