By Arthur Miller

Set in a neighborhood on the Brooklyn waterfront, A View from the Bridge is a powerful immigrant story that explores desire, community loyalty, and identity. Eddie Carbone, a hardworking longshoreman, lives a modest life with his wife Beatrice and their orphaned niece Catherine-whom Eddie is devoted to with a love that blurs the lines between protective and possessive. When Beatrice's cousins, Marco and Rodolpho, arrive to America seeking work and a better life, tensions rise. Rodolpho's blossoming romance with Catherine threatens Eddie's fragile sense of control and pushes him into a spiral of jealousy and denial.
As Eddie's inner conflict deepens, his inability to confront his feelings or accept change leads him down a path of betrayal that shakes his family and community— and seals his tragic fate.
Arthur Miller's modern classic is a searing, emotionally taut tragedy that lays bare the consequences of unspoken desire and pride. Honest, intense, and heartbreakingly human, A View from the Bridge remains a timeless study of the limits of love and the price of honor.
