A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE: DUKE OF YORKS LONDON. KEN STOTT GIVES ACTING MASTERCLASS

don't know if anyone's into live theatre on these boards, but if you were to get curious about it, you could do a lot worse than watching A View From The Bridge with Ken Stott and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.

Watched it in preview on Saturday just gone (24th) and thought it absolutely superb, big fan of Arthur Miller anyway and I've seen a few versions of his work at Bolton Octagon and The Lowry Salford, but this production is in another class.

forget your Oliviers and the old legends Ken Stott is real class in this, support from Hayley Atwell and Gerard Monaco is excellent too

been a fan of Stotts since I seen him in The Boxer with Daniel Day Lewis, I really think he is going from strength to strength as a character actor as opposed to a 'star'

dear as fuck though for a ticket compared to our local theatres, West End prices pretty steep, but minor quibble, fookin good couple of hours all in all

Great to see the theatre discussed on here. Proves we're not all just a bunch of reprobates obsessed with tv comedy and old music.

Aye, have always thought Stott a great actor. 'Vice' was it he used to be in? Amongst others

Like both Ken Stott (isn't he also in Rhebus?), and Arthur Miller (whom I studied in a short-lived English A-Level - "Death Of A Salesman" or was it "The Crucible"? - possibly why I dropped out of A-Level English!).

Might have to pop down and watch this - sounds like a good play.

Yes he plays Rebus having replaced John Hannah, Arthur Miller's work seems to be have been enjoying something of a revival over the past few years since he died, Death of a Salesman and The Crucible both been on in the west end, saw the former with Brian Dennehy, missed the latter.

strange enough never appreciated his (Miller's) work when I was younger, now though I think I've lived enough to get it, certainly the people and situations he writes about are timeless, people are always making the wrong choices for the right reasons or just trying to get by.

anyway like I said, one brilliant production of a brilliant piece
