'A View from the Bridge' - Arthur Miller explains his inspiration

Arthur Miller explores the genesis of 'A View from the Bridge' and the influence of the social, aesthetic and personal on this work. He describes the universality and timelessness that the role of Greek tragedy plays within 'A View from the Bridge', with Alfieri as the Chorus. David Thacker, director, exemplifies the role of Alfieri, as the voice of reason and sanity.
Clips from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Omnibus 1987 National Theatre production and from the 1986 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Broadcast Archives illustrate the points made.
