18 JUL – 24 AUG WELCOME I was blown away when I saw this Red Line production at the Old Fitz. This is a stunning take on Arthur Miller’s classic play under Iain Sinclair’s meticulous direction. With shockingly contemporary issues, Miller’s beautiful language and an amazing cast, I am thrilled we are able to present A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE for your enjoyment. Mark Kilmurry Artistic Director
DIRECTOR'S NOTE
It's rare for an Australian director to get to revisit a classic work in many different contexts. Each time you do, new elements of the play reveal themselves and the piece evolves and changes. My journey with A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE began two years ago in the 80-seat theatre at the Old Fitz where the company you are watching tonight sweated out Miller's Greek tragedy in close visceral quarters. We created a show firmly in the ‘poor theatre’ aesthetic following Lope de Vega's dictum that all a great theatre needs is actors, a stage and some passion. We used two lighting effects, two props, the minimum amount of furniture, one chair, and the emotional power of the story crackled into being. We then transferred to Glen Street Theatre where the production shifted from traverse to proscenium and a whole new cosmic dimension to the play revealed itself. I was then invited to explore the play further at MTC and, after seeking Andrew Henry's blessing, Zoe Terakes, myself and a new company of Melbourne based actors dug deep into that new discovery with a high tech exploration of Euripidean epic minimalism in the huge Southbank Theatre, The Sumner, and a new operatic door was suddenly opened on the play. Returning now to the original production in its new incarnation, at my favourite theatre here at The Ensemble, I am struck by how A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE continues to reward new explorations from the intense realism of Gregory Mosher to the icicle clarity of Ivo Van Hove. The show you will see tonight has again revealed something altogether new and I look forward to sharing that with you. Iain Sinclair
SYNOPSIS
Alfieri, our friendly neighbourhood lawyer and narrator, sets the scene in the docks of Red Hook, a working-class part of Brooklyn. Protagonist extraordinaire Eddie Carbone is devoted to his wife Beatrice, a mouthy housewife with a heart of gold, and their niece Catherine. When Beatrice’s cousins Marco and Rodolpho enter the US illegally, desperate to find work having fled the poverty of Sicily, the Carbone family welcome them into their home with open arms. But as Rodolpho and Catherine fall in love, it becomes clear that Eddie’s over protectiveness of his niece stems from more than just fatherly love. His adoration is no longer touching, it’s terrifying. CAST CREATIVES
