We meet Joe Keller, now retired and happy , though grieving his son who is MIA in the Pacific.

All My Sons Play Critics Reviews
“wonderfully cast, honestly staged and beautifully presented production” ~ Variety.
“Roundabout Theater Company revival reaches the play’s level only intermittently, like a poorly tuned radio. Jack O’Brien’s literal-minded production does not make a resonant case for the drama today.” ~ New York Times
“All My Sons is the very definition of the well-made play, a drama that doesn’t so much disguise its intentions or hide its twists as make them all but inevitable. We see everything coming but get run over just the same.” ~ Greg Evans, Deadline
