A View From The Bridge – A new revival

A new revival of A View from the Bridge, a play widely acknowledged as one of the greatest works of 20th century US theatre, stars the excellent Dominic West and Callum Scott Howells in a well-deserved London transfer. Having sold out in Bath for a month, Arthur Miller's 1955 play is set to once more reveal the destructive nature of obsessive love. It’s on at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from May 23rd and runs for 10 weeks.

A View From The Bridge tickets – Classic US theatre

Tickets for the production at the Ustinov Studio sold out in under an hour, yet another version of the classic from the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning American playwright's drama. It has been adapted for stage and screen too many times to count over the last 70 years and this, Posner's production, is due to be a particularly thrilling revival.

See Dominic West in A View From The Bridge

Dominic West is best known for his movie and TV work, including the now-classic series The Wire and the royal family drama, The Crown. He played Simon Gray's Butley at the Duchess Theatre in 2011, where “West certainly brings out that aspect of the part. He burns up the stage with his energy and allows a malicious gleam to come into his eye". He also starred in Les Liaisons Dangereuses at the Donmar.

West is joined by Callum Scott Howells, the Welsh actor, singer, and talent show winner who has been acting since childhood. Known for his role as Colin Morris-Jones in the Channel 4 drama It's a Sin, from 2021, he was due to play a part in Gary Owen's play Romeo and Julie for the Royal National Theatre in 2020 until covid hit. May 2023 saw him cast as the Frankie Goes to Hollywood singer Holly Johnson in a biographical film Relax, as well as Michael Sheen's BBC series The Way.
