The disappearance of a son in WWII has left the Keller family divided and holding secrets from each other. Some know the secret and lie to others. Some know the secret and lie to themselves. And some discover the secret for the first time. Much like a Greek tragedy, a series of revelations leads to a dramatic showdown that changes things forever. "All My Sons" beautifully explores the moral and ethical duty we owe to others.

"All My Sons" is based on the true story of an American company selling defective military aircraft engines to the Army Air Force during World War II. A Senate investigative committee chaired by then Senator Harry S. Truman held hearings that revealed the problem to the public. The resulting publicity helped Truman become Vice President in 1944. He then became President the next year, upon the death of Franklin Roosevelt.

"[A]n original play of superior quality by a playwright who knows his craft and has unusual understanding of the tangled loyalties of human beings." New York Times
