Theatre Royal, Glasgow
ARTHUR MILLER’S CLASSIC
A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE
KEN STOTT, MARY ELIZABETH MASTRANTONIO
AND HAYLEY ATWELL
Theatre Royal – Monday 2 – Saturday 6th June
THEATRE ROYAL IS THE ONLY SCOTTISH VENUE TO PLAY HOST TO
WEST END SENSATION!
At the Theatre Royal we are delighted to announce we are one of only three British tour dates for
Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge. This electrifying production boasts an outstanding cast
featuring Scotland’s own Ken Stott, Hollywood star Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Hayley
Atwell. A View from the Bridge is currently storming the West End and we are thrilled to be the
theatre bringing this production to Scotland.
Dockworker Eddie Carbone (Ken Stott) has made a good life for himself and his wife Beatrice
(Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) and niece Catherine (Hayley Atwell) in 1950’s Brooklyn. As a
former immigrant himself, Eddie is happy to house and protect his wife’s Italian cousins who
arrive illegally in pursuit of the ‘American Dream’. What Eddie doesn’t know is that this act of
kindness will have a shattering effect on his whole life, and the lives of those he loves.
Hayley Atwell recently starred in the films Brideshead Revisited and The Duchess and her
theatre credits include Major Barbara, Man of Mode and Women Beware Women. Ken Stott is
well known for his TV and film roles including Messiah, The Vice, Rebus and Shallow Grave, his
theatre roles include Yasmina Reza's Art and most recently God of Carnage. Mary Elizabeth
Mastrantonio has appeared extensively in film and theatre including The Perfect Storm,
Consenting Adults, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and The Abyss, and on stage in Grand Hotel,
Man Of La Mancha and Twelfth Night. Lindsay Posner won two Olivier awards for his Royal
Court production of Death and the Maiden and has most recently directed Fool for Love, Fiddler
on the Roof and Carousel in the West End.
Arthur Miller is arguably America’s finest playwright whose other landmark works include The
Crucible and Death of a Salesman.
A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE is designed by Christopher Oram with lighting by Peter Mumford
and is produced by Kim Poster for Stanhope Productions and Sonia Friedman Productions.
Acknowledged as one of the great classics of the twentieth century, this deeply moving play is
directed by Lindsay Posner.
