Arthur Miller's seminal work on morality is as explosive and charged as ever
"All My Sons" by Arthur Miller is a timeless masterpiece that delves into the depths of human morality, guilt, and redemption. Set in the aftermath of World War II, the play explores the consequences of one man's seemingly harmless decision, unraveling a web of lies and exposing the profound impact of personal choices on society at large.
The heart-wrenching narrative centers around the Keller family, whose relationships crumble under the weight of guilt, denial, and the pursuit of truth. Joe's wife, Kate, desperately clings to the hope that their missing son, Larry, will return, while their surviving son, Chris, grapples with his own conflicted feelings of loyalty and love. The arrival of Larry's former sweetheart, Ann, adds another layer of complexity as long-held secrets are unraveled.
Miller's powerful exploration of the human psyche and the corrosive effects of hidden truths strikes a deep emotional chord. The characters' inner struggles, combined with the haunting presence of the war and its aftermath, create a poignant atmosphere that resonates with audiences even today. Themes of responsibility, sacrifice, and the cost of pursuing the American Dream permeate every scene, forcing us to confront our own sense of morality and more closely examine the consequences of our actions.
With its thought-provoking storyline, compelling characters, and a gripping climax that will leave you breathless, "All My Sons" is a theatrical masterpiece that captivates both the mind and the heart. Arthur Miller's deft use of language and his ability to evoke raw, genuine emotions make this play an enduring classic that continues to leave audiences spellbound.
The genesis of All My Sons came in 1943, Miller said, when he was feeling like “a stretched string waiting to be plucked—a young, fit man barred from a war others were dying in.” The chord of inspiration struck when he read “about a young girl somewhere in central Ohio who turned her father in to the FBI for having manufactured faulty aircraft parts.” Miller maintained that in this play, “I sought to reconstruct my own life, becoming my brother from time to time, my father, my mother, putting on their forms and faces.”
Considered by many as one of the finest American plays ever, Arthur Miller’s All My Sons is a powerful tragic family drama and a masterwork of American theatre.

- Chicago Critic
"It's Business!” In and of itself, it’s a fairly innocuous word. But as spat out in disgust by one of the main characters in Arthur Miller's drama All My Sons, it becomes a harsh epithet representing the worst aspects of the American Dream. This current era of income inequality and tax cuts for the wealthy makes the moment register now more than ever.

- The Hollywood Reporter
As the play gets going, for the audience, it is like watching an onion being slowly peeled, as layer after layer of story and revelation is revealed, slowly, almost agonisingly. All My Sons is a fine, gripping thriller, the theatrical equivalent of a page-turner that you simply cannot put down.
​
- Southend Theatre Scene
Arthur Miller's All My Sons is an emotionally wrenching tragedy. Secrets and lies that have been hidden for years are gradually teased out. Not until the last few minutes do you understand the enormity of the story and then it punches you in the gut."
