Starring BAFTA Award winner DOMINIC WEST!
BAFTA Award winner Dominic West (The Wire, The Crown), stars in Arthur Miller’s timeless masterpiece, a passionate study of one man’s place in the close-knit Italian-American community in 1950s New York. Directed by Lindsay Posner at Theatre Royal Bath’s intimate Ustinov Studio for a strictly limited season from 16 February – 9 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.
Dominic West’s thirty-year career has included roles in some of the most iconic television series, from his award-winning portrayal of Jimmy McNulty in The Wire to Charles, Prince of Wales in The Crown. Since making his film debut opposite Ian McKellen in Richard III, he has appeared in movies as diverse as Oscar-winning musical Chicago, historical drama Downton Abbey: A New Era, provided voices in Disney Pixar’s Finding Dory and played real-life activist Jonathan Blake in the multi-award-winning Pride.
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.
Further cast and creative team for this production of A View from the Bridge will be announced in due course.
