RIALTO CHATTER: Schreiber And Mosher To Bring Miller's A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE Back To Broadway

The New York Post's Michael Riedel is revealing in his On Broadway column in the The New York Post that Liev Schreiber is planning star in a revival of Arthur Miller's A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE directed by Gregory Mosher and due on Broadway in the spring. Schreiber will play Eddie Carbone, the Italian-American dock worker who is secretly in love with his niece.

Considered one of the great modern classics of the twentieth century, Arthur Miller's A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE, recently had a UK revival at the Duke of York's Theatre in London earlier this year. 

The story follows Eddie Carbone, a head-strong longshoreman raising his wife's orphaned niece, Catherine. When Eddie's feelings for Catherine develop from paternal protectiveness to sexual desire, his struggle to contain his emotions leads him on a path of self destruction transforming him from a respected, honorable man to a virtual stranger shamed and broken by his own actions. Intense and raw, Miller's A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE explores jealousy, betrayal, suspicion and ultimately loss of control.

The last Broadway run for 'A VIEW' was in 1997, starring Anthony LaPaglia, the production won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play.

Liev Schreiber recently "bared his fangs" in the X-Men spin-off Wolverine, starring fellow Tony Award-winner Hugh Jackman in the title role. Schreiber played the iconic role of Victor Creed better known to comic fans as 'Sabertooth'.
