\n\tSam Rockwell is bringing a new revival of A View from the Bridge to New York.<\/p>\n
\n\tRockwell will star as Eddie, alongside Marin Ireland as Beatrice and Alfred Molina as Alfieri in Arthur Miller\u2019s tragic family drama, directed by Neil Pepe. Rockwell is also producing the play, alongside partner Mark Berger, at La MaMa\u2019s Ellen Stewart Theatre.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe 13-week run begins Nov. 27, with an opening night Dec. 13. Bringing a starry commercial production to LaMaMa, an Off-Off-Broadway<\/a> theater<\/a> known for experimental work and programming underrepresented artists, is a rare move, but comes due to Rockwell\u2019s connection to the theater, and an effort to bring more attention to the nonprofit theater.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cSome of my earliest theater memories are of coming to La MaMa as a kid and hanging out backstage while my mom was doing experimental theater of the day. To now return to the Ellen Stewart Theatre with Arthur Miller\u2019s masterpiece with these remarkable collaborators feels like coming full circle. I started my own career downtown, and institutions like La MaMa have always inspired me\u2014as an artist and as an audience member. They\u2019re the lifeblood of our culture, championing bold new voices and reminding us why the theater matters. I\u2019ve always considered myself incredibly lucky, and this opportunity feels like kismet,\u201d Rockwell said.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tA View from the Bridge premiered Off-Broadway in 1965 at the Sheridan Square Playhouse starring\u00a0 Robert Duvall and Jon Voight, with direction by Ulu Grosbard and assistant direction by Dustin Hoffman. It has since appeared on Broadway and the West End several times, with the most recent Broadway revival<\/a> in 2015, directed by Ivo van Hove.<\/p>\n \n\tThe play follows Eddie Carbone, a longshoreman living in Brooklyn with his wife Beatrice, whose unhealthy obsession with her teenage niece, Catherine, leads the larger family into ruin. Alfieri, a lawyer, narrates his downfall.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tRockwell returns to the stage after last appearing in American Buffalo on Broadway in 2022, which was directed by Pepe. <\/p>\n \n\tThe creative team for A View from the Bridge will include scenic design by Scott Pask, costume design by Sarah Laux, lighting design by John Torres and sound design by Palmer Hefferan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sam Rockwell is bringing a new revival of A View from the Bridge to New York.
