All My Sons by Arthur Miller, Presented by Ballycogley Players

Ballycogley Players is proud to present two exclusive pre-All-Ireland performances of their award-winning production, All My Sons.

Arthur Miller’s All My Sons follows the Keller family in the aftermath of World War II as long-buried tensions begin to surface from the routines of family existence. Whilst much action has taken place long before the curtain rises, the play explores the consequences of past decisions, the pressures of the American Dream, and the struggle between personal loyalty and social responsibility. Joe & Kate Keller have a sadness in their lives-the loss of their son Larry, who went missing during World War. As the play develops, relationships shift and truths edge closer to the surface, as the family is forced to confront the moral costs of their choices.

All My Sons is a moving, compelling drama exemplifying the struggle of loss and its corrosive effects, by one of the greatest playwrights of the 20th century.

The play unfolds as a tense examination of truth, loyalty, and the ethical compromises people make in pursuit of success, and peels away the layers in an attempt to uncover the truth. Though written over 80 years ago the impact of the writing and the story resonates loudly and harshly in today’s equally complex world. At its core All My Sons asks what we owe to each other-beyond family, beyond business and beyond personal survival.
