Cresting the wave of the world's celebrations of Shakespeare's anniversary, and following the successful and exhilarating production of his epic King Lear, we look toward a new face of theatre, impacted by Shakespeare. This November, Elements Theatre Company plunges into the work of another iconic voice in theatre-Arthur Miller's award-winning play, All My Sons. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast in character below!
Guest Director, Joanna Weir Ouston, teacher and director at the Oxford School of Drama and previously at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London-two of the UK's leading professional theatre schools - is leading this stellar cast, bringing to life this profoundly moving play. The stylized set design and exquisite period costumes are thoughtfully chosen and created.
In Post WWII America, the return of a family friend starts a string of events that leads the Kellers-a family crippled by loss, denial, and secrets-to exposure and painful consequences, confronting secrets and lies that are too big to be forgiven. This gripping, timeless classic is brilliantly written by master craftsman, Arthur Miller, with every word and every action in All My Sons having a consequence.
A compelling portrait of flawed, captivated characters, All My Sons was Miller's first major success as a playwright in 1947, winning the New York Critics' Circle Award, the Tony Award for Best Author, and the Tony Award for the Best Direction of a play. Today, its politics and its impact remain as relevant and devastating as ever.
