All My Sons
Details
—
A Royal Exchange Theatre and Talawa Theatre Company co-production
Written by Arthur Miller
Directed by Michael Buffong
Overview
It is 1947. Joe and Kate Keller, an all-American couple, have the ghosts of World War II living in their own backyard.
Joe is a successful, self-made businessman, a loving family man and a pillar of the community. He is a partner in a machine shop building fighter plane parts. One thing overshadows Joe and Kate's happiness - 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 two of the country's most distinguished actors, Don Warrington MBE (Rising Damp, Death in Paradise) and Doña Croll (Doctors). Michael Buffong is Artistic Director of Talawa Theatre Company. His previous credits for the Royal Exchange include the multi award-winning A Raisin in the Sun and Private Lives.
Michael Buffong
"The Exchange has always been a magical space for me. It seems a place of endless possibilities; it has the ability to be vast and in a moment to become incredibly intimate."
