\n \tMiller, a Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright, heard a simple story that captured his imagination and continues to capture ours. Set in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, N.Y., neighboring the Brooklyn Bridge, longshoreman Eddie Carbone and his wife, Beatrice, live with their adopted, orphaned niece Catherine, a beautiful, young girl. <\/p>\n


\n\tThe arrival of two of Beatrice\u2019s relatives, illegal immigrants from war-torn Italy, who like many others come to the U.S. to work and support their European families, precipitate a difficult situation. With the power of Greek tragedy, Miller creates Eddie as a respected, hard-working family man whose deeply buried feelings create horror in his own heart as well as in others. Miller\u2019s other great plays include All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, and The Crucible.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe show is directed by URI Associate Theater Professor Bryna Wortman whose recent directorial credits include Unbound, Small Tragedy, Merchant of Venice, and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. URI Associate Professor of Theater David T. Howard is designing costumes, URI alumna Cheryl deWardener is the set designer, URI alumnus Matthew Terry is lighting designer and guest artist Michael Hyde will be in charge of audio.<\/p>\n
