Set in the aftermath of World War II, the play centers around the Keller family and their dramatic dance between truth, lies, guilt, responsibility, and the consequences of pursuing the American Dream at any cost. Considered a masterwork in the American theatrical canon, All My Sons has been revived countless times across the globe since its original Broadway production in 1947.
"There is a steady churn throughout the play from warm scenes of neighborly friendship and domesticity to brewing fault lines that shudder, crack, and ultimately explode. Arthur Miller’s incredibly deft and pithy dialogue, brimming with wisdom and wit, alternately brings us to laughter, deep recognition, dread, and poignant sympathy. No matter what happens, we remain breathlessly engaged with this play...when it’s over you’ll feel completely overwhelmed – in a good way – by a stupendous theatrical experience. Everyone should see this play – for its incredibly timely message and, even more, for the special opportunity of experiencing one of America’s greatest plays performed by some of South Florida’s greatest actors who make the master proud." - South Florida Theatre Magazine
"Most actors and directors are skilled at depicting the optimistic warmth of bonded family gatherings, or they are skilled at explosions of pessimistic rage and sorrow, or sometimes even both. What New City Players’ ensemble achieves in its dynamic production of Arthur Miller’s classic All My Sons is making totally believable the slow descent from one to the other...here the tragedy is underscored by watching a middle-class family recognizable as our neighbors or ourselves disintegrate before our eyes." - Florida Theatre On Stage
"The result is lean yet riveting drama and tension as Miller reveals the family’s secrets over a single day. While a relatively short time elapses from beginning to end, the mood shifts subtly, almost unnoticeably. Seeming contentment and informality give way to a disturbing, heart-shattering reality...With its rich symbolism, powerful exploration of complex, relevant themes, and well-drawn characters, All My Sons is an important part of the American theatrical cannon. Yes, you walk away sad at the tragic ending, but also in deep thought about your life and what we owe our fellow human beings. This is a rich, complex play. With each new viewing, you are bound to walk away with something new that you may have missed previously." - Theatrical Musings
