"From its thunderous, clanking start on the harbour unloading bays, this heart-wrenching production by Gregory Hersov captures all the poetry and vulnerability of the family..." Francesca Turner The Guardian

"A View From The Bridge remains one of the most powerful pieces of modern drama...directed superbly by Gregory Hersov...Jonathan Hackett is excelle  nt as the ill-fated Eddie...this superb production - and there will be few better on stage this year - owes its power and tenderness to a cast obviously in love with the play. Arthur Miller would have applauded them until his hands hurt." Malcolm Handley Liverpool Daily Post

"Excellent performances from Gillian Hanna as wife Beatrice, John Branwell as lawyer Alfieri, Bullmore and Higgins. And Hackett's gigantic role was unforgettable...It was all there. A great all round production for a memorable evening of theatre." Richard Turner Manchester Metro News
