The Acclaimed Broadway Hit
This hugely acclaimed Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's masterpiece arrives in Washington a run in Los Angeles. Adapted by Belgian director Ivan van Hove, this adaptations places the action of a bare blank stage, further ratcheting up the intensity of Miller's take of sexual frustration and thwarted masculinity.
After wowing crowds in London's West End, and picking up three Olivier Awards including Best revival, this production transferred to Broadway in 2015 with Mark Strong among the cast. One of the best reviewed revivals of the season, it drew raves from the New York critics for its intensity and cloying claustrophobia. The cast for this staging is yet to be announced.

Now a teenager, Catherine is blossoming into womanhood, eliciting a sexual longing in Eddie which he does his best to repress. His inner turmoil is forced to the surface by the arrival of two illegal Italian immigrants into the house, one of whom catches Catherine's eye, driving Eddie to try and assert his dominance.
