What we’re reading
This term we are exploring A View from the Bridge by Arthur Miller.
Neil Packham, our Community Drama Director, shared why he chose this play:
“I know we’re going to have a great time looking at A View from the Bridge this term. It has all the elements that make for a compelling story: strong characters, intense emotions, and a lot of tension. It’s about family, loyalty, and justice, and it shows how things can quickly spiral out of control when people’s actions clash with their values.”
You will need a copy in advance of the first session. We will be using the Penguin Classics 2015 edition of the play (ISBN: 978-0141189963). It can be bought from a range of online stores including World of Books, Waterstones and WHSmith.
What participants say
It has been great fun, challenging and an unmissable part of the week.
It has been a major highlight of my week during lockdown, getting a social boost and some very stimulating and intellectual chat, as well as a lot of laughs…such a tonic!
