A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE Opens 5/15 At The At The Ross Valley Players

This gem of a play from master playwright Arthur Miller tells the powerful and profound story of Eddie Carbone, a hard-working Italian-American longshoreman. When Eddie opens his crowded Brooklyn apartment to his wife’s Sicilian cousins, trouble slips through, too. Soon Eddie is confronted by feelings he fiercely denies and makes choices that shatter everyone he loves and reverberate throughout the community. A story of a man who holds family and honor above all else—and yet betrays them both. This show is directed by Cris Cassell.
