All My Sons

By Arthur Miller, 1948.

Brilliantly written and absolutely as topical today as it was in 1948, this play is about two families struggling with a history of white-collar criminal charges. With that plot as the vehicle, Miller explores the nuances of accountability, generational differences, the conflict that can arise between providing for a family and running a business above-board, exigencies during a time of war, and cultural complicity in the dishonesty of individuals.  The Keller sons, Chris and Larry, are the heroes of this story for their unwavering moral sense.
