All My Sons

Fri 20 Feb - Sun 29 Mar

By Arthur Miller
Directed by David Mendizábal
Roda Theatre

The American Dream comes at a price. But who truly pays for it? Arthur Miller’s searing indictment of moral compromise erupts with new urgency in this groundbreaking production. When a father makes a fateful decision to preserve his family’s hard-won success, the aftershocks ripple far beyond his home and community. Featuring Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winner Jimmy Smits and acclaimed actress — and real-life partner — Wanda De Jesús, Berkeley Rep’s Associate Artistic Director David Mendizábal (Mexodus) brings a bold new perspective to this American classic through a lens of race, ethnicity, and class — maintaining the original text while sharpening its themes of justice and inequity. This powerful revival reveals a tragedy where the pursuit of prosperity collides with the reality of who America was built to serve.
