The Guard at the Door: Theatre in Dangerous Times

HowlRound:Back in December I went to the Lyceum Theatre on West 45th Street to see the Young Vic’s startling production of Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge. 2015 was the centennial of Miller’s birth, and the New York theatre is saluting him this season with at least three productions: A View from the Bridge; Incident at Vichy, directed by Michael Wilson, which had a limited run last fall at the Signature Theatre; and The Crucible, which begins previews at the Walter Kerr in February. The audacious Belgian director Ivo Van Hove staged both View From the Bridge and The Crucible.
