A synopsis of All My Sons: During World War II, Joe Keller and Steve Deever’s machine shop made defective airplane parts causing young pilots to die. Deever went to prison and Keller became wealthy while his son, Larry, went missing in action. It’s now August 1946 in Keller’s backyard and Larry’s brother, Chris, wants to marry Ann Deever, Larry’s childhood sweetheart, but her brother, George, will have none of it. This American classic portrays a mother’s hope, a father’s guilt and a terrible secret is revealed.
“All My Sons is an example of Arthur Miller’s insistent examination of the morality of American life. He presents his characters in the midst of powerful moral dilemmas—those dilemmas are almost always confronting matters of our American character,” Kalinoski said. “Mr. Miller relentlessly compels audiences to question why and how we live.”
