All My Sons review – Annette Bening and Tracy Letts power sturdy revival
The American Airlines Theatre, New York
Thrilling, note perfect performances elevate yet another staging of Arthur Miller’s transgressive tragedy
A play about the rancid heart of the American dream, Arthur Miller’s early tragedy, All My Sons, is rebirthed on Broadway, looking like it never left. Thrillingly acted – with performances that threaten, tantalizingly, to go over the top, but stop just short – Jack O’Brien’s production for the Roundabout is a vigorous anatomy lesson, a show about how guilt and transgression can rot a family from the inside, spoiling everything they touch.
