State Theatre Company South Australia acknowledges the Kaurna people of the Adelaide region, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which State Theatre Company is based. We respect their spiritual relationship with their Country and recognise their cultural heritage and beliefs are

of continuing importance to Kaurna people living today.

We also acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of all Country of this nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and future and extend our respect to

all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who are present today.

As much as A View from the Bridge draws inspiration from the era in which it was written, it equally stands as a modern classic tackling

universal themes that remain achingly relevant to our times.

From the plight of illegal immigrants and issues around domestic patriarchal abuse to the innate survival instincts of its female

characters, the play’s effect is, to this day, still alarmingly human.

Through its embrace of both classical and modern form, Miller’s writing has invited us as creators to engage with the expansion of our

audience’s imagination - he did not demand conventionalism.

And despite the play’s propulsion towards tragedy, Miller wanted us to see more than the apparent hopelessness of the situation.

As he wrote: ‘It is curious, although edifying, that the plays we revere, century after century, are the tragedies. In them, and in them alone,

lies the belief - optimistic, if you will, in the perfectibility of man.’

Director's Note by Kate Champion

Director's Note by Kate Champion

Arthur Miller (1915-2005) was a dominant figure in American theatre for more than 50 years. Aftergraduating from the University of Michigan, he chose to work with the Federal Theatre Project - anagency established to provide jobs in theatre - over an offer to work as a scriptwriter for 20th Century Fox. Always politically active, in the 1950s he was scrutinised by a United States Congress committee investigating communist influence in the arts. He was denied a passport to attend the Brussels premiere of The Crucible (1953), and called before the House of Un-American Activities in 1956.

His many award-winning plays include The Man Who Had All the Luck, All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, An Enemy of the People (adapted from Henrik Ibsen), The Crucible, double bill A Memory of Two Mondays and A View from the Bridge, After the Fall, Incident at Vichy, The Price, The Creation of the World and Other Business (later made into a musical, Up From Paradise), The Archbishop’s Ceiling, The American Clock, Two-Way Mirror, double bill Danger: Memory! and The Ride Down Mt Morgan.

Miller, who was married to Marilyn Monroe from 1956 to 1961, twice won the New York Drama Critics Award. He also won the 1949 Pulitzer Prize.

His autobiography Timebends was published in 1987, and his screenplay adaptation of the 1996 film of The Crucible earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Screenplay based on PreviouslyProduced Material. In 2002, Miller was honoured with Spain’s prestigious Principe de Asturias Prizefor Literature, making him the first US recipient of the award.

Kate has had over 30 years’ experience as a director, choreographer, teacher and performer across multiple art forms. She was the founding Artistic Director of Sydney based dance theatre company Force Majeure.

Kate has worked in theatre, dance, film and opera with arts companies and institutes including Belvoir, Sydney Theatre Company, NIDA, English National Opera, Legs on the Wall, Australian Dance Theatre and DV8 Physical Theatre, London. In 1996 Kate was the recipient of the Robert Helpmann Scholarship. That same year, she created her first solo work Face Value. This production earned her a Green Room and MO Award. In June 2001, Sydney Opera House commissioned a new solo show About Face for which she won a Helpmann award.

As Artistic Director of Force Majeure, Kate directed Same, Same But Different (2002 Helpmann Award), Already Elsewhere (Sydney Festival) and The Age I’m In (Sydney and Adelaide Festivals and Dublin, Montreal and Seoul tour).

Kate co-directed Food for Belvoir (regional tour 2013), directed Never Did Me Any Harm for Sydney Theatre Company (Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne Festivals plus regional tour 2016) and Nothing To Lose for Sydney Festival/Dance Massive 2015. Kate was Associate Director of Opera Australia’s production of Wagner’s Ring Cycle.

Since leaving Force Majeure, Kate has directed Swallow (National Theatre of Parramatta), Not Who I Was (NIDA), That Eye, The Sky (State Theatre Company), Every Brilliant Thing (Belvoir) and Evie May (a new Australian musical for Hayes Theatre, Sydney).
