Cariou, Harris, and Metcalf to Star in 'All My Sons' at Geffen Playhouse

By:

Arthur Miller's All My Sons will be staged at L.A.'s Geffen Playhouse April 11 to May 21, starring Len Cariou, Neil Patrick Harris, and Laurie Metcalf. To be directed by Randall Arney, All My Sons was Miller's first hit play, which won him a 1947 Tony as Best Author.

Len Cariou may be best known for originating his Tony-award winning role as Sweeney Todd on Broadway, and as Fredrik Egerman of A Little Night Music. His other credits include a slew of Shakespearian and classic theatre productions across America and Canada and roles in such films as About Schmidt and The Four Seasons. He was inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame in January 2005.

Harris last appeared on Broadway in the revival of Assassins. He also portrayed the Emcee in the revival of Cabaret and made his Broadway debut in 2002 as Hal in Proof. Harris was last in L.A. as Mark Cohen in the national tour of Rent and played Tobias Ragg in the New York and San Francisco concerts of Sweeney Todd. He also stars in the CBS sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother."

Laurie Metcalf is a three-time Emmy award winning actress for the role of Jackie in the television show, Roseanne. Her screen credits include supporting-roles in Desperately Seeking Susan, Pacific Heights, JFK, and Scream 2.

All My Sons tells the story of Joe Keller, a middle-aged self-made man who, in a rush to meet an Army order, consciously sells faulty airplane parts that later lead to the death of 21 soldiers. To escape the consequences, Joe frames his business partner for the crime. At the cusp of his son's marriage to his partner's daughter, the truth unravels before him. Like the theme of other Miller plays, All My Sons dissects the rewards of the American Dream.

 

Geffen Playhouse is located at 10866 Le Conte Avenue, Los AngelesCA, 90024. For tickets call 310-208-5454 or visit www.geffenplayhouse.com
