Von Hove is clear on its on terms, but there are layers in Miller that do not exist in this production. Alfieri as the moral center gets quite lost because he is unable to explain many of the behaviors absent the code of conduct in and around Redhook. My take is Von Hove is raw in a way Miller is not, the shear shock value of Eddie's lust for Catherine without any context. Miller has emotional depth that Van Hove leaves behind. Frankly, with A View from the Bridge one of Arthur Miller's finest plays, I welcome Von Hove as an off center version.
