Thu 9/5-Sun 9/15
It seems to be Arthur Miller month in Cleveland, with Blank Canvas Theatre having just opened The Crucible and this week, Cain Park following with A View from the Bridge.
The American playwright, who died in 2005, wrote more than three dozen plays between 1936 and 2004. But he’s best known for the plays he wrote from the late 40s through the mid 60s, especially his 1949 Pulitzer Prize-winning Death of a Salesman. Both The Crucible and A View from the Bridge date from the mid 50s, and are very much plays of that era, especially the latter. It’s a play about passions, both hidden and overt, that cause conflict and ultimately tragedy, among a extended family of Italian immigrants in New York. Celeste Cosentino, executive artistic director of Ensemble Theatre, directs.
The production will run for two weekends. Get tickets here.
