All My Sons

Geffen Playhouse presents Arthur Miller’s All My Sons, directed by Randall Arney and starring Len Cariou, Neil Patrick Harris, and Laurie Metcalf.

The play tells the story of Joe Keller, a successful, middle-aged, self-made man who has done a terrible and tragic thing: rushing to meet an order from the Army, he knowingly sold them defective airplane parts which later caused planes to crash, and 21 men to die. Joe then engineered his own exoneration by framing his business partner for the crime.

Now, with his son about to marry the partner’s daughter, the affair is revisited, and Joe’s lie of a life is unraveled. Having spent his entire life in the single-minded pursuit of wealth for the sake of his family, Joe represents the American Dream gone nightmarishly awry.
