A View from the Bridge is a play by Arthur Miller originally produced as a one-act verse drama on Broadway in 1955.

The main character in the story is Eddie Carbone, an Italian American longshoreman, who lives with his wife Beatrice and orphaned niece Catherine. His feelings for Catherine, however, develop from protective and paternal into something more than filial as the play develops. These feelings are brought into perspective by the arrival from Italy of Beatrice's two cousins, Marco and Rodolpho. They have entered the country illegally, hoping to leave behind hunger and unemployment for a better life in America, and to help build a better life for those they've left behind. Rodolpho is young, good-looking, blond, and single -- he sings, dances and is charming; Catherine instantly falls for him.

Predictably Eddie sets about pointing out all of Rodolpho's flaws and persistently complains that Rodolpho is "not right" (by which he means homosexual). He uses Rodolpho's effeminate qualities, such as dress-making, cooking and singing, to back up his argument. [Wikipedia]

I got this from a small college library near Boston, so it has some library marks; however, it's been sitting safely on a shelf for several years. The two records are in excellent condition and the box has minimal wear. It comes with a 55-page booklet containing the text of the play.

Have some blank spots on your walls? Put the album front and back covers in a 12x12 frame and voilà, you've got art.

International buyers: the exact weight for first class is 2 pound, 1 ounces.
