"Epic and Timely! A superb Huntington cast gives us Miller at his fiercest and most unflinching. During the climactic moments, everyone in the theatre seemed to be holding their collective breath. Will Lyman gives a shrewd performance as Joe Keller, endowing him with a folksy demeanor yet conveying the sense that this man does believe his own self-justification. Karen MacDonald delivers a knockout performance as Kate, a woman who has absorbed one hard truth but refuses to accept another. The play of emotions across MacDonald's face is so intricate that whenever she is onstage, it is hard to take your eyes off her." — The Boston Globe
"All My Sons gripped all my emotions. I can’t stop thinking about it." —Jared Bowen, WGBH-TV
"Productions like this remind you why classics became classics in the first place."— Boston Herald
"The most powerful piece of theatre I’ve seen in many years. When it wasn’t all but weeping, the crowd was utterly transfixed. The acting blazes and in the case of Karen MacDonald, should become the stuff of legend. She gives one of those performances that makes you feel you've been privileged to witness it."—The Hub Review
"Superb! All My Sons is a must-see! The Huntington Theatre Company continues to set the theatrical bar high."—Berkshire Fine Arts
"With All My Sons, the theatre has acquired a genuine new talent. Arthur Miller brings something fresh and exciting into the drama. He has written an honest, forceful drama. Told against the single setting of an ordinary American backyard, it is a pitiless analysis of character that gathers momentum all evening and concludes with both logic and dramatic impact." — The New York Times (January 30, 1947; review of the original production)
- A Playwright Whose Convictions Challenged Conventions
Arthur Miller may or may not be the greatest playwright America has produced, but he is certainly the most American of the country's greatest playwrights...
