Immigration and adapting (or not) to a new homeland is as current a topic as it has ever been. In Arthur Miller’s 1955 play A View From The Bridge, we see the difficulties in casting off centuries of inherited tradition to adapt to a new social structure.

Headlong Theatre's production of A View From The Bridge has just opened at Chichester Festival Theatre. Arthur Miller’s compelling drama follows the anti-hero Eddie Carbone as his world collapses through betrayal, jealousy, and desire.
