*“A View From the Bridge” Character Breakdown*

*Alfieri* (he/him, 50s-60s): A lawyer who has learned many lessons the hard
way.

*Eddie* (he/him, mid-late 40s) A hard working Italian-American, Eddie has
spent his life laboring on the notorious docks of Red Hook. While his work
as a longshoreman has hardened him, he tries to keep a tender heart. He
takes in his wife’s orphaned niece Catherine, raising her as if she were
his own. But as Catherine approaches the age of marriage, Eddie faces a
profound self-revelation that threatens to undo everything he stands for.

*Beatrice* (she/her, 40s) A resilient Italian-American woman, Beatrice
bears the burdens of her family with grace. Married to a longshoreman, she
has cultivated a blend of steely resolve and keen wit, yet retains a deep
emotional well. Compassionate and understanding, she refuses to be
overlooked or sidelined.

*Marco* (He/Him, 30s) Beatrice’s cousin, who has immigrated from Italy to
Brooklyn. Marco was born with the strength of three men, but his only care
in the world is his wife and three children. It is for them that he made
the treacherous journey across the sea. He will do anything to support his
family.

*Rodolpho* (he/him, 30s): Beatrice’s cousin, who has immigrated from Italy
to Brooklyn. In the face of the drudge and back-breaking labor of Red Hook,
Rodolpho chooses to sing. He has a lust for life and a strong desire to
make lemonade out of the lemons life has given him.

*Catherine* (she/her, 20s): A young adult on the verge of leaving home and
striking out on her own. She is infinitely curious about the world around
her and the people who inhabit that world. Fearless and full of hope.

*Louis/First Immigration Officer* (he/him, 50s-60s). As Louis: An old-timer
longshoreman who is down on his luck and hates seeing the influx of new
immigrants who are taking jobs. As First Immigration Officer (Charley): The
officer in charge. Harsh, efficient. Likes his job a little too much.

*Mike/Tony/Second Immigration Officer* (he/him, 40s): As Mike: A
longshoreman who works with Eddie. Suspicious of the immigrants he works
with on the docks. Pokes fun at Rodolpho. As Tony: An opportunistic labor
broker who makes his living by brokering employment for illegal immigrants.
Shady, nefarious, mean. As Second Immigration Officer (Dominick): Second in
command.
