Director's Note
by Kate Champion
As much as A View from the Bridge draws inspiration from the era
in which it was written, it equally stands as a modern classic tackling
universal themes that remain achingly relevant to our times.
From the plight of illegal immigrants and issues around domestic
patriarchal abuse to the innate survival instincts of its female
characters, the play’s effect is, to this day, still alarmingly human.
Through its embrace of both classical and modern form, Miller’s
writing has invited us as creators to engage with the expansion of our
audience’s imagination - he did not demand conventionalism.
And despite the play’s propulsion towards tragedy, Miller wanted us
to see more than the apparent hopelessness of the situation.
As he wrote: ‘It is curious, although edifying, that the plays we revere,
century after century, are the tragedies. In them, and in them alone,
lies the belief - optimistic, if you will, in the perfectibility of man.’
