Sean Christopher Lewis, artistic director at Riverside Theatre, directs “A View From The Bridge,” opening Jan. 20.
The last of Arthur Miller’s “Big Three” (“Death of a Salesman” and “All My Sons” are the others), “View” tells the story of longshoreman Eddie Carbone who at first welcomes his Sicilian cousins to the land of freedom. But when one of them falls for his beautiful niece, they discover that freedom comes at a price.
An award-winning playwright himself, Sean says that Miller is the quintessential American playwright, who makes the combining of meaty, well-rounded characters, startling plot twists look easy.
The same can be said about Sean. Two of his plays are being staged around the midwest, and his graphic novel “Saints,” has been optioned for TV.
