ALL MY SONS
by Arthur Miller
Directed by Sherrionne Brown

ALL MY SONS is concerned with the fortunes of the two families. Joe Keller and Herbert Deever ran a shop which made airplane parts. Deever was sent to prison because the firm turned out defective parts, causing the many deaths during the war. Keller went free and made a lot of money. This catastrophe and that Keller's younger son was reported missing during the war dominate the action. The love affair of Chris Keller and Ann Deever, the bitterness of George Deever returned from the war to find his father in prison and his father's partner free, are all set in a structure of almost unbearable power. The reaction of a son to his guilty father is a fitting conclusion this play.
