The Workshop Players were back on stage last weekend to present Arthur Miller’s ‘A View From The Bridge’, a play which highlights corruption on the Brooklyn docks. Eddie, the tragic protagonist in the play, is in love with his wife Beatrice’s orphaned niece, Catherine. In turn he doesn’t approve of her courtship with Beatrice’s cousin, Rodolpho. A series of events turn out as Eddie finds out that they are going to marry. Many twists and turns were induced by veteran director Jerome L De Silva to highlight the depths of the original script. 

Towards the end of the play some of the viewers shared their experience with Daily Mirror Life:
