Critique on View from the Bridge

Today I saw now one of my new favorite plays, View from the Bridge, which I would easily give a 9/10. The play is set in early 20th century Brooklyn where immigrants are really beginning to move into the US. The play centers around the beautiful Scarlett Johansson and the fantastic Liev Schreiber. The play is about how Liev, the uncle, is unable to let go of his niece, Scarlett, into the world because he has raised her as his own daughter. The actors throughout were amazing and player their roles expertly. The most intriguing part of the though play though was the actual set. The play involves several different setting so, the producers, in order to tackle this challenge without much problems made a spinning set that contained 4 different backs that would be used accordingly. The play focuses on the challenege Liev's character has with accepting a new world full of illegal immigrants from Europe etc. He represents the old fashinoned father is given absolute rule over his family and has decision over everything. Overall, this play was superb and I would recommend it to everyone.
