All My Sons

Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge) revisits this Arthur Miller’s classic play. Starring Bryan Cranston (amazing in Network at the NT a few years back), Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Paapa Essiedu (Death of England). Even though we have now seen it many times, we couldn’t resist seeing this cast. “Respected, self-made businessman Joe (Bryan Cranston) prides himself on providing for his wife and their two sons. While wartime delivers profits for the family, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son goes missing in action. Peacetime brings little peace of mind as Joe’s true involvement in the activity begins to surface, and he is suddenly confronted by the consequences of his actions. “
