Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge will transfer to the West End. The Young Vic production, starring Mark Strong under the direction of Ivo van Hove, will play a limited engagement February 11, 2015 through April 11. Opening night is set for February 16 at the Wyndham’s Theatre.
Strong (Twelfth Night, the upcoming movie The Imitation Game) will lead the company as Eddie Carbone and will be joined by fellow original cast members Emun Elliott as Marco, Phoebe Fox (As You Like It) as Catherine, Michael Gould as Alfieri, Luke Norris as Rodolpho and Olivier winner Nicola Walker (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) as Beatrice.
In A View From the Bridge, described as one of Miller's most passionate dramas, Eddie Carbone is a Brooklyn longshoreman obsessed with his 17-year-old niece Catherine. When Catherine falls in love with a newly arrived immigrant, Eddie's jealousy erupts in a rage that consumes him, his family, and his world. The play debuted on Broadway in 1955 and was most recently seen on the Great White Way in 2010 starring Scarlett Johansson and Liev Schreiber.
The production will feature design and lighting by Jan Versweyveld with costumes designs by An D’Huys.
