All My Sons
All My Sons | Arthur Miller
8 posts | 32 read | 7 to read
Joe Keller and SteveDeever, partners in a machine shop during World War II, turned out defective airplane parts, causing the deaths of many men. Deever was sent to prison while Keller escaped punishment and went back to business, making himself very wealthy in the ensuing years. In Miller s work of tremendous power, a love affair between Keller's son, Chris, and Ann Deever, Steve s daughter, the bitterness of George Keller, who returns from the war to find his father in prison and his father's partner free, and the reaction of a son to his father's guilt escalate toward a climax of electrifying intensity. Winner of the Drama Critics' Award for Best New Play in 1947, "All My Sons" established Arthur Miller as a leading voice in the American theater. "All My Sons" introduced themes that thread through Miller's work as a whole: the relationships between fathers and sons and the conflict between business and personal ethics. This edition features an introduction by Christopher Bigsby. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

I have known for years that my favorite band‘s name is based on this play. I finally took the time to listen. It is a very emotional, moving story. A character knowingly sends faulty airplane parts from his factory during WWII. It causes the death of twenty-one pilots. The character tries to justify his decision. Twenty One Pilots explains their name is a constant reminder to make the right decision even though it might be the hard decision.

This play is touching on so many levels. A son MIA; war crimes; a tricky romantic relationship. This one is devastating but poignant. I‘m a little embarrassed I haven‘t read any Arthur Miller until this year.

Played George in my college‘s production junior year. Perhaps the most tragic of Miller‘s canon.

This play rocked me. The phrase 'I was shook' has never been more apt. I felt like I was discovering a story no one had ever read before, simply because I was rather surprised that I! had never read it before, and it was SO GOOD. Heartbreaking and shocking but an amazing story.

Thought this might be of interest to various writers and artists who follow me.
