Ivan van Hove's stunning Broadway revival comes to LA
Adapted by celebrated Belgian director Ivan van Hove, this wildly acclaimed revival of Arthur Miller's masterpiece arrives in Los Angeles following its Broadway run. While this play has been brought to the stage countless times, van Hove has approached the work in an utterly unique way, staging the action of a bare blank set, which even further ratchet's up the tension.
After wowing crowds in London's West End, and picking up three Olivier Awards including Best revival, this production transferred to Broadway in 2015 with Mark Strong among the cast. One of the best reviewed revivals of the season, it drew raves from the New York critics for its intensity and cloying claustrophobia.
Eddie Carbone eeks out an existence by working the docks in 1950's Brooklyn, where he lives with his wife Beatrice and her young niece Catherine. Now a teenager, Catherine is blossoming into womanhood, eliciting a sexual longing in Eddie which he does his best to repress. His inner turmoil is forced to the surface by the arrival of two illegal Italian immigrants into the house, one of whom catches Catherine's eye, driving Eddie to try and assert his dominance.
