LIVE THEATRE WORKSHOP - 5317 E. Speedway | Tucson, AZ 85712

Located on the North side of Speedway between Rosemont and Craycroft

Produced by Special Arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

 

The great Arthur Miller's classic play about guilt, responsibility, and the relationship between fathers and sons in the aftermath of World War II. ALL MY SONS asks: What do you believe in—and how do you go on believing—when the world changes, and the ones who gave you those beliefs have let you down? Winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play, this masterpiece launched Arthur Miller's career and crowned him one of America's most successful playwrights.
