New Ross Drama Workshop's upcoming ‘A View from the Bridge' will see two new actors in lead roles
A View from the Bridge by Arthur Miller is a dramatic story set in a close-knit community, centring around the Carbone family, where personal desires clash with social expectations. As tensions build within a family, hidden emotions and unspoken rules begin to surface, leading to choices that have lasting consequences. The play explores complex human relationships and the struggle between justice and loyalty and is sure to have audiences on the edge of their seats.
The New Ross Drama Workshop welcomes Jamie Lyster who plays the lead role of Eddie Carbone alongside fellow group newcomer, Tara Furness, who together with long-standing group member, Nancy Rochford Flynn plays Eddie's niece and wife respectively.
David Walsh and Pat Murphy take on the roles of the visiting Italian cousins of the Carbone's (Rodolfo and Marco), whilst Stephen Rossiter plays legal advisor Mr. Alfieri.
John Caulfield, Nicky Flynn, Peter O' Connor and Kevin Murphy also are an integral part of the narrative throughout, and each make a number of appearances on stage. They will be joined on stage by Kitty Warren, Milo Walsh, Peggy Hussey, Kathleen Kennedy, Kate O'Keeffe and Bride Walsh, who share in the dramatic story of the Carbones, as it unfolds.
The backstage team continues to go from strength to strength and is led by stage manager, Marian Rothwell, with Bride Walsh and Anne Fleming Kelly in charge of props. Wexford native Cian Redmond will be coordinating the lights and sound.
Costume design is by Peggy Hussey and Martina Kavanagh, with Kitty Warren and Jenny Murphy O'Neill looking after make-up and hair, respectively. Catherine O'Connor leads the front of house team, ably supported by Brid Richardson, Liz Furness, Annette Stacey, Edward Hayden and other group members.
Speaking last week at rehearsals, New Ross Drama Workshop Chairperson, Kate O'Keeffe said: 'We are delighted to continue our strong reputation of high quality theatre in New Ross by bringing this gripping production to life, and we believe audiences will connect deeply with its emotional intensity and moral complexity.
"We are really looking forward to hearing the feedback of our loyal audiences in New Ross and look forward to seeing you in St. Michael's Theatre,' she said.
Tickets, at €15 each, for A View from the Bridge are now available through the St. Michael's Theatre box-office (051-421255) and online on the theatre website.
