All My Sons UK Tour

Overview

1947. Joe and Kate Keller, an all-American couple, are living with the ghosts of World War II. Joe is successful, a self-made businessman, loving family man and pillar of the community. He is a partner in a machine shop building fighter plane parts. Joe and Kate’s happiness is overcast by one thing – their son is missing in action, presumed dead by all but his mother...

All My Sons is a searing investigation of honesty, guilt and the corrupting power of greed. The play was Arthur Miller’s first success, establishing him as a leading voice in theatre. This collaboration features the distinguished actors, Ray Shell and Doña Croll. Michael Buffong is Artistic Director of Talawa Theatre Company. His previous credits include Moon on a Rainbow Shawl, the multi award-winning A Raisin in the Sun and Private Lives.

"Talawa's electrifying revival of All My Sons ... is a masterpiece in building subtle tension. [The] explosions are perfectly pitched in Michael Buffong's beautifully observed production, building out of the everyday to provide a devastating narrative ... This is far more than a two-person show, with the entire nine-strong ensemble delivering the goods. There's particularly fine work from Leemore Marrett JR and Kemi-Bo Jacobs as Chris and Ann, the innocent victims of the family fallout ... give the piece the attention it deserves and it more than repays the effort. Talawa's production will go down on the list of classic Miller interpretations.."
