All My Sons at Depot Theater

In this post-war American family drama by Arthur Miller, All My Sons is the story of Joe Keller, who owned a munitions factory with his friend and neighbor. After being charged with shipping defective aircraft engines during World War II, Joe’s partner was convicted, but Joe was exonerated. Joe’s wife, Kate, is still waiting for their eldest son, Larry, to return from war, determined that he is alive and will marry the former girl-next-door, Ann – the daughter of Joe’s former business partner.  To complicate things, Joe’s surviving son, Chris, and Ann are in love and want to get married.  The play explores the Keller family’s complex relationships burdened with shame, denial, guilt, and grief while addressing issues of truth, loyalty, wealth, and love. The story demands its audience examine their own social responsibilities to all the sons of American wars.
