This autumn Talawa Theatre Company and the Royal Exchange Theatre will present a major revival of ALL MY SONS by Arthur Miller. The production will star two of the country's most distinguished actors - Don Warrington MBE (RISING DAMP, DEATH IN PARADISE) as Joe and Doña Croll (CASUALTY, DOCTORS) as Kate, and will run from Wednesday 25 September to Saturday 26 October 2013.
Joe and Kate Keller, an all-American couple who have the ghosts of World War II living in their own backyard. Joe is a successful, self-made businessman, a loving family man and a pillar of the community. He is a partner in a machine shop building fighter plane parts. One thing overshadows Joe and Kate's happiness - their son is missing in action, presumed dead by all but his mother.
ALL MY SONS directed by Talawa's Artistic Director Michael Buffong, whose previous credits include MOON ON A RAINBOW SHAWL at The National Theatre (to be revived for a UK tour in 2014) and the multi award-winning A RAISIN IN THE SUN and PRIVATE LIVES at the Royal Exchange Theatre.
The full cast also includes Delroy Atkinson, Simon Coombs, Andrea Davy, Roger Griffiths, Kemi-Bo Jacobs, Bethan Mary-James and Chiké Okonkwo.
Talawa Theatre Company is the UK's primary black-led theatre company. Led by Artistic Director Michael Buffong, Talawa aims to create work informed by the wealth and diversity of the Black British experience, invest in talent, build audiences and inspire dialogue with and within communities across Britain. In 2014 Talawa will revive Michael's acclaimed production of MOON ON A RAINBOW SHAWL for a UK tour in collaboration with The National Theatre.
