he said that he had played the role of the narrator in the play, which was directed by Parviz Bahram in the 1960s.

 

By staging the play, Mamduh plans to pay tribute to Bahram, who passed away several years ago.

The play translated by Manijeh Mohamedi will be staged during autumn, he said.

 

In “A View from the Bridge”, Miller explores the intersection between one man’s self-delusion and the brutal trajectory of fate.

 

Set among Italian-Americans on the Brooklyn waterfront, “A View from the Bridge” is the story of longshoreman Eddie Carbone. When his wife’s cousins arrive as illegal immigrants from Italy, he is honored to take them into his house.

 

But when his niece begins to fall in love with one of them Eddie grows increasingly suspicious, eventually precipitating his violation of the moral and cultural codes of his community and leading to the play’s tragic finale.
