The saga of a wise (Jedi) knight and an evil (Sith) lord, of a beautiful princess held captive and a young hero coming of age, Star Wars abounds with all the valor and villainy of Shakespeare's greatest plays. 'Tis a tale told by fretful droids, full of faithful Wookiees and fearsome Stormtroopers, signifying...pretty much everything.

Story
Published during a literary era marked by the ascendance of Black writers such as Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, and Alex Haley, this thinly fictionalized account of Claude Brown’s childhood as a hardened, streetwise criminal trying to survive the toughest streets of Harlem has been heralded as the definitive account of everyday life for the first generation of African Americans raised in the Northern ghettos of the 1940s and 1950s.

A wonderful version of a classic
Miller's play is, unfortunately, timeless. The immigration situation keeps repeating over and over, and the story is fantastic, flawless, no doubt about it. This performance was extraordinary! I heard it in one sitting, even though I knew what was going to happen (I've read the play and seen it), I wanted to keep on listening. The acting was great, Ed O'Neil shines with such a strong character, and the whole company is great.

All around excellence!
This is one of Miller’s finest. The depth of the character writing, the storyline, the way the play is structured, combined to hold my attention from the first word to the last. Eddie was an unusual psychological mixture and was beautifully played by O’Neil who was pitch perfect. Bravo!

Mesmerizing!
This may be one of the most spellbinding plays I have ever listened to. Miller totally recreates 1950s Brooklyn in an Italian neighborhood. It is a story of obsession and how it leads to inevitable tragedy. Ed O’Neill is masterful as the possessive, controlling Eddie! I may have to listen to it again. Just an astounding piece of theatre. I now want to read everything Arthur Miller has ever written.

A great performance of a great play.
The play resonated with me on so many levels. Family issues, children and parents, fathers and daughters, immigration, human drama...

LATW once again scores a winner
A View From The Bridge is one of Miller's most admired plays. A tragedy of the commons man it has elements of Tennessee Williams with Eugene O'Neil undertones, but is all Arthur Miller. This slice of life portrait of Brooklyn family oozes with blue collar realism and the tragedy of the everyman. And all of it is brought to life with this brilliant - and surprisingly good - cast. Most of the names in this cast in this production were known to me for other things, but I still had trouble placing them. That is how completely they owned their roles. The 'New Yawk' accents do face in and out but not enough to the performance, and that is my only complaint. A minor one indeed. The LA Theater Workshop has done some marvelous work bringing quality drama to the audio realm but this production really excels. There wasn't a bad moment in the performance and even the live audience added to the experiance. This is a great production of a great play brimming with an energy and emotional impact that will stay with me. Kudos to both the LATW and Audible for making it available.

Moving performance
This is a moving recording of a performance of this play. Of course the visual aspect is missing as are the stage directions. As a result the overall effect is limited. However I still found the recording quite powerful and would fully recommend it

excellent
Nicely acted, intoned, and quite realistic. Almost as good as being at the theatre. We'll go to view the national theatre production, too.

Black Comedy
I am from Kuwait, and I have seen this play during my visit to Boston in 1993, it's been shown in one of the universities stage. I loved it. I bought the book after few years later. When I saw the book here in Audible.com, it was the first book I purchased. The play is great, the act is Marvelous and the sound quality is incredible. I recommend very much to be heard and I am very sure you will enjoy it as much as I did.
