All My Sons — Sydney Theatre Company
STC takes on Arthur Miller's first big hit with a portrait of American corruption.
Overview
It was 1947 when Arthur Miller first went after the American Dream with a blowtorch. With one flop under his belt, All My Sons was his last, desperate roll of the dice. This month, Sydney Theatre Company reminds us why Miller went on to become one of America's premier playwrights.
In true Miller style, All My Sons probes at the cracks of family relationships as flawed characters scramble to protect their secrets. Two years after the Second World War, the Keller family wait for the return of their missing son, Larry. But as years pass and hopes dwindle, dirty truths begin to seep out of the hole he has left in their lives.
Directed by STC's Kip Williams, with John Howard and Robyn Nevin crossing swords as Joe and Kate Keller, All My Sons is a modern tragedy that brutally skewers its characters and continues to ask the questions America can't seem to find an answer to.
