NT LIVE: All My Sons (12A)
Arthur Miller’s All My Sons returns to the theatre in an exciting new production from Tony and Olivier Award-winning director Ivo van Hove (A View from the Bridge, A Little Life). First performed in 1947, it remains as pivotal and unsettling as ever and is a devastating study of family and the cost of great success.
Joe Keller, a proud, self-made businessman, has built his fortune on hard work and great ambition. However, beneath the comfortable suburban life hides a terrible secret - a wartime decision that would cost twenty-one pilots their lives and ultimately send his business partner to prison. Now, many years later, the truth threatens to destroy all that Joe has sought to protect: his family and his reputation.
Miller’s play unfolds over a single day as buried guilt, grief, and immorality surface. All My Sons captures the intimacy of one’s life exploding before their eyes and the social reckoning that follows. This is a family drama that asks the audience one question: how far will we go to protect the ones we love, and what happens when integrity comes with a price?
