On a barge in Red Hook, Brooklyn, dockworkers chant against their corrupt union boss.
“We’re striking this ship!” yells the group’s leader.
This is a scene from Brave New World Repertory Theater’s production of “The Hook,” the first American staging of an adapted Arthur Miller screenplay.
The show, which opens at the Waterfront Museum on Friday, follows Marty, a longshoreman in 1950 who fights against the union corruption that controlled Red Hook’s waterfront.
Now the show returns to the neighborhood in which it is set, staged aboard a docked ship straight from Panto’s time.
