Winner of the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best New American Play in 1947, All My Sons deals with decisions that result in dire consequences--and the question "Are we able to make moral choices?" What happens when lies are exposed and the business/consumer society is laid bare?
All My Sons is presented by River Stage under the direction of Frank Condon. Preview performances start Wednesday, April 15, with opening night Saturday, April 18. The show closes May 17.
Joe Keller and Steven Deever, partners in a machine shop during World War II, turned out defective airplane parts, causing the deaths of many men. Deever was sent to prison, while Keller escaped punishment and became a wealthy man. In this commanding work, a love affair between Keller’s son, Chris, and Ann Deever, Steven’s daughter; the bitterness of Steven’s son, George, who returns from the war to find his father in prison and his father’s partner free; and the reaction of a son to his father’s guilt escalate toward a climax of electrifying intensity.
All My Sons first introduced the themes that run through Miller’s work as a whole: the relationship between fathers and sons, and the conflict between business ethics and personal morality.

Eisenhower's warning about the Military Industrial Complex is eerily reminiscent of Arthur Miller’s play, All My Sons, coming to River Stage.
