A View from the Bridge, Wyndham's Theatre *****

When I saw this production at the Young Vic, I thought I was in a trance. After seeing this transfer to Wyndham's, I can thankfully say that it was as good if not better. The problem for transfers from the Vic is dealing with the transformation between the immersive auditorium at the Cut and the proscenium arch which has less connection with an audience. Despite this, Miller's classic joins the Scottsboro Boys as the second west end transfer for the company at this moment in time. In fact, both shows are on the same street and both are sublime. The direction from Ivory Van Hove is clearly the key factor in this majestic production. Each scene is a portrait; Van Hove strips back everything so you get the true essence of the play and appreciate every small gesture. There were no slips in accent and no actor shines alone as they all are astonishingly good.
