Review: Masterful “A View From the Bridge” by Shattered Globe

This is not an operatic production, it is raw, simple and potent.

Scott Aiello is Eddie, Eileen Niccolai is Beatrice, Harrison Weger is Rodolpho, Isabelle Muthiah is Catherine and Mike Cherry plays Marco in Arthur Miller's"A View From the Bridge" by Shattered Globe Theatre.

I was there 30 years ago in the old Shattered Globe on Halsted Street and, Tuesday night, there I was again at Theater Wit watching the pathetic longshoreman Eddie, now poignantly played by Scott Aiello, thrashing and flailing as his young niece Catherine, played by Isabelle Muthiah, grows up and away from him.I suppose it should be noted that Niccolai was a little young for the role of Beatrice, Eddie’s wife, 30 years ago and maybe a little old for the part now.

I note that partly because “A View From the Bridge” can be performed at operatic scale, to marvelous effectand or via the gut-wrenching William Bolcom opera seen at the Lyric Opera in 1999. This is not such a production: it is all raw, simple and potent, recognizable humans, a platform, a table and a few chairs.
