Description
A View from the Bridge is a tragic play about a man's inexorable unravelling, set in a close-knit community in 1950s New York. The story revolves around Eddie Carbone, a longshoreman with a strong sense of decency and honour, who takes in his wife's cousins, Marco and Rodolpho, from Italy. As his niece Catherine falls for one of them, the true nature of Eddie's feelings and the danger he poses to his family's happiness become clear.
This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction by the author and a new foreword by actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, providing valuable context and insights into the play's themes and characters.
