New York City
A View from the Bridge is a raw, classic American tragedy simmers with tension as Eddie Carbone’s obession with his pretty orphaned niece spirals out of control. Set in the 1950s in Brooklyn, in a close immigrant community bound by Italian codes of justice and vengeance, Eddie knows the rules. But the scene is set for disaster when Eddie and his wife take two illegal immigrants into their home. Sexual repression, paranoia, homophobia erupt in a psychological conflagration that has tragic consequences for Eddie, his family and their whole community. It crackles with tensions and betrayals – a gripping tale.
