By Arthur Miller

It is New York in the mid 1950s. Eddie Carbone, his wife Beatrice and orphaned niece Catherine live in a tenement block in the shadow of Brooklyn Bridge. When two cousins - illegal immigrants from Italy – come to stay, conflicting passions and obsession lead to a desperate conclusion. Based on an actual event and written during the McCarthy ‘investigations’ of un-American activities, this modern classic is as relevant today and explores Miller’s belief that true, tragic heroes emerge from ordinary contemporary lives.
