Tickets for the new performances went on sale to Theatre Royal Bath Associates from Friday 15 December and then to Theatre Royal Bath Friends from Monday 18 December. General booking opens from Wednesday 20 December at theatreroyal.org.uk.

Presented by Theatre Royal Bath Productions, A View from the Bridge is designed by Peter McKintosh with lighting designs by Paul Pyant.

The drama tells the story of Eddie Carbone who is an outwardly straightforward man with a strong sense of decency. For Eddie it is a privilege to welcome his wife’s Italian cousins to the land of freedom.

But as his niece Catherine falls for one of the visitors, Eddie struggles to control his fierce jealousy, tormented by his own barely concealed lust for the girl. As passions rise, they all soon learn that some freedoms have to come at a terrible price.

Pulitzer Prize-winner Arthur Miller is one of the most highly regarded American playwrights of the 20th century with work including All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, and The Misfits. His timeless masterpiece A View from the Bridge is a passionate study of one man’s place in the close-knit Italian-American community in 1950s New York.

A View from the Bridge was first performed as a one-act verse drama on Broadway in 1955 before being revised for its West End premiere a year later, directed by Peter Brook and starring Richard Harris and Anthony Quayle. The play has since been produced for stage, film, television and radio and as an opera, starring many notable actors and winning numerous awards.
