A View from the Bridge, a co-production with Headlong, Octagon Theatre Bolton and Rose Theatre, will run at Chichester Festival Theatre 6–28 October.
Jonathan Slinger will play the role of Eddie, joined by Nancy Crane, who will be the first woman to play the role of Alfieri. They are joined by Kirsty Bushell as Beatrice, Rachelle Diedericks as Catherine, Elijah Holloway as Louis / Immigration Officer, Luke Newberry as Rodolpho, Tommy Sim'aan as Marco and Lamin Touray as Mike / Immigration Officer.
On the Brooklyn waterfront, where the fierce passions of ancestral Sicily linger, the orphaned Catherine falls for her handsome, newly arrived cousin Rudolpho, an illegal migrant. Their romance is encouraged by her aunt Beatrice but stirs complex feeling in her uncle, Eddie Carbone. As tensions rise, their story spins inexorably beyond control.
Directed by Headlong Artistic Director Holly Race Roughan, the full creative team includes Emily Ling Williams (associate director), Moi Tran (set and costume), Alex Fernandes (lighting), Max Perryment (composer and sound designer), Malik Nashad Sharpe (movement director), Kev McCurdy (fight director), Yarit Dor (intimacy director), Aundrea Fudge (voice and dialect coach), Mona Camille (set and costume associate) and Keegan Curran (sound associate).
The production will also play at Octagon Theatre Bolton 9–30 September and Rose Theatre in Kingston 31 October–11 November.
