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.
