Student production of Arthur Miller's 'A View From the Bridge' by Warwick University Drama Society and The Drama Collective, with the audience surrounding the stage.
Warwick University Drama Society and The Drama Collective are bringing Arthur Miller's A View From the Bridge to the Warwick Arts Centre this November, with performances running from Thursday 5 to Saturday 7. It's a student production of the American playwright's classic, and it's taking place in the Studio rather than one of the main theatres.
If you're not familiar with the play, it's set in an Italian-American neighbourhood on the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge. The story follows Eddie Carbone, who begins to unravel after two of his wife's cousins arrive from Italy. Eddie is obsessed with his niece, Catherine, and feels increasingly threatened by her relationship with one of the newcomers. By the end, he loses both his honour and his life. It's a heavy piece of writing, and this staging leans into a narrative centred on family, obsession and betrayal.

One thing worth knowing before you book is the layout. Because it's in the Studio, the seating wraps around the stage, so you'll be close to the action from whatever angle you're sitting at. The show runs two hours and fifteen minutes, including the interval, and it's recommended for ages 12 and over, with under-16s needing a responsible adult with them. Tickets are £15.50, or £13 for students.
