"A View from the Bridge" Presented By Bare Bones Theater Company
As described in the New York Daily News, A View from the Bridge is a tragedy in the classic form whose central character is Brooklyn longshoreman Eddie Carbone. Though his mind is limited and he cannot find words to articulate his thoughts, Eddie nevertheless struggles nobly to confront his demons. When two of his wife's Italian cousins ('submarines' as they are called on the waterfront) are smuggled into this country, he makes room for them in his home. Gratefully they move in among his wife, his children and the young niece whom he has brought up and whom he has come to love, he thinks, as a daughter. And so the stage is set for tragedy. One of the cousins, Rodolpho, extraordinarily handsome and exceedingly blonde, is single. He wants to become an American, and he falls in love with Eddie's niece. If Rodolpho marries the girl he will no longer have to hide from immigration officials. A monstrous change creeps up on the kind and loving uncle. He is violently opposed to this romance and is not intelligent enough to realize that this opposition is not motivated, as he thinks, by a dislike of the boy and a suspicion that he is too pretty to be a man, but by his own too intense lust for his niece. Not even the wise and kindly neighborhood lawyer can persuade Eddie to let the girl go. This brutally absorbing drama, penned by the author of Death of a Salesman and The Crucible, is sure-footed every step of the way. It makes no false moves, wastes none of the audience's time and has the beauty and raw simplicity of a classical Greek tragedy.
