Arthur Miller’s landmark American drama, All My Sons
09:22AM / Friday, March 13, 2009
Main Street Stage is proud to present Arthur Miller’s landmark American drama, All My Sons. Directed by Edward Cating and Alexia Trainor, All My Sons runs March 27, 28, 29 and April 3, 4, at 8pm. With one 3pm matinée on Sunday, April 5th. A special Community Night (Pay What You Can) preview will be held on Thursday, March 26 at 8 pm. For tickets call 413-663-3240 or purchase online www.mainstreetstage.org.
Winner of the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best New Play in 1947, All My Sons established Arthur Miller as a leading voice in the American theater. All My Sons introduced themes that thread through Miller's work as a whole: the relationships between fathers and sons and the conflict between business and personal ethics.
The inspiration for the play came from a wartime anecdote Miller heard about a woman who had betrayed her father to the authorities for delivering defective equipment to the U.S. military. From this Miller shaped a drama not about war, but about topics of greater relevance to him: money and greed.
With today’s national headlines of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, executives and financial officers of major corporations behind bars, and fears of financial collapse, All My Sons startles with a contemporary relevance for American audiences. World War II has ended as Joe Keller, an airplane parts manufacturer, is caught in a personal battle between individual responsibility and business success that could threaten his tenuous hold on the American dream.
The cast for All My Sons includes Main Street Stage veterans Linda White and Edward Cating as Kate and Joe Keller, Frank La Frazia as George Deever, and newcomers Samantha Cullen as Ann Deever, and Conor Moroney as Chris Keller.
