Arthur Miller’s first Broadway hit, “All My Sons,” comes to life on the Bryan College stage this weekend in the Hilltop Players’ first production of the year.
Directed by assistant professor and Theatre Fellow Jared Cole, “All My Sons” is the story of Joe Keller and his family facing ramifications of decisions made during World War II, just a few years earlier.
“All My Sons” won the Drama Critics Award for Best New Play in 1947 and preceded other Miller classics, including “Death of a Salesman” and “The Crucible.”
“It’s an American tragedy,” Cole said. “It follows the same patterns as a Greek tragedy; it is set in one day, and there is a tragic figure, a person of prominence with a tragic flaw.”
