THE Touring Consortium Theatre Company’s new production of Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge, produced to mark the centenary of the playwright’s birth, comes to The Alhambra Theatre next month.

Set in the mysterious world of New York’s Brooklyn harbour in the 1950s the play stars Jonathan Guy Lewis as Eddie Carbone and Michael Brandon as Alfieri.

Michael, a US actor best known for his role as Dempsey in the 1980s police drama Dempsey and Makepeace, said: “It’s a great privilege to play Alfieri as he speaks for Arthur Miller in the play.

“As a Brooklyn ghetto-born street kid this play takes me home.”

The play is set in a tight-knit Italian community bound by strong moral codes of justice and honour.

When Eddie and his wife welcome two cousins into their home, Marco and Rodolpho, recently arrived from Sicily, the balance of Eddie’s family relationships is dangerously rocked.

The Bradford show will feature ten members of the local community, who have been cast alongside the professional actors as members of the ensemble.

A View From The Bridge, directed by Stephen Unwin. will be on at the Alhambra from March 31 to April 4.
