Johansson and Schreiber Open in A View From the Bridge

The Broadway revival of Arthur Miller’s A View From the Bridge, starring Scarlett Johansson and Liev Schreiber, celebrates its opening night at the Cort Theatre.

In A View From the Bridge, described as one of Miller’s most passionate dramas, Schreiber will play Eddie Carbone, a Brooklyn longshoreman obsessed with his 17-year-old niece Catherine, played by Johansson. When Catherine falls in love with a newly arrived immigrant, Eddie’s jealousy erupts in a rage that consumes him, his family, and his world. The play debuted on Broadway in 1955 and was most recently revived by Roundabout in 1997 in a production that won Tonys for Best Revival and Best Actor for Anthony LaPaglia as Eddie.
