A View From the Bridge by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller tells the tale of a Brooklyn longshoreman named Eddie Carbone, whose obsessive affection for his niece leads to a clash with two illegal immigrants taking refuge in his home.

Miller’s classic tragedy premiered in 1955. It has since enjoyed consistent revivals on Broadway in addition to adaptations for film, television and even opera.

The play will also be presented at Tri-C’s Simon and Rose Mandel Theatre at Eastern Campus, with preview performances scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 25-27 and 10:30 a.m. Oct. 25. Admission is free. 

For more information on the preview performances, call 216-987-4947. Eastern Campus is located at 4250 Richmond Road in Highland Hills.
