Limelight Theatre: All My Sons

As a part of their 31st season, St. Augustine’s Limelight Theatre will present the play All My Sons from June 23 through July 9, 2023 at varying times.

Written in the aftermath of World War II, All My Sons is a three-act play whose plot touches on themes of familial ties, war, and forbidden love. Having been presented on Broadway and beyond, All My Sons is a certified American classic, despite its critiques of the war and the American Dream. Its main characters are the Kellers and Deevers; two families who have been irreversibly effected by World War II on the battlefield AND the homefront. In the wake of business scandals, wartime tragedies, and prison sentences, the members of these families clash (and mesh) dramatically.

Arthur Miller, who wrote the play and published it in 1946, was a prolific writer of his time — earning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1949 amongst other acclaims. However, his career was not without scandal, for Miller’s subject matter often strayed into treasonous territory (at least, according to post-War America’s standards). All My Sons was among the works that earned Miller a summons from the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1956.
