Scarlett Johansson, Liev Schreiber grace Broadway with 'A View from the Bridge'

Gregory Mosher directs the most recent revival of Arthur Miller's family tragedy. The production gets a dose of Hollywood star power from central cast members Liev Schreiber, Scarlet Johansson (in her Broadway debut) and Jessica Hecht, who have all earned critical accolades for their turns on the Cort's stage.
Based in 1950s Brooklyn, the play follows main character Eddie Carbone (Schreiber) as he struggles against a downward spiral of lust for his orphan niece Catherine (Johansson) and his neglected wife Beatrice (Hecht) watches helplessly. Neighborhood lawyer and one-man Greek chorus Alierfi (Michael Cristofer) narrates the unfolding story of jealousy, rage and lost honor.
