” . . . The story is a literary classic, but the Company were finely attuned to that burden, in which many of the audience may “know the story” without knowing the story in its intricacies. I last studied the play in school. There were questionnaires before and after querying the audience’s relationships with the play. While the immersive experience perhaps made it less likely to come away knowing the ins-and-outs, its major plot points were scenes displayed for the group as a whole . . . Overall, a bold and interesting production, variable in quality. . . ”

“It is almost 70 years since Arthur Miller’s All My Sons was first staged, but for a modern audience it has lost none of its bite. An unflinching examination of greed; of idealism; of self-delusion; of family; of responsibility to one’s immediate surroundings versus wider social responsibility; the themes are just as pertinent today as they were in 1947. . . The most subtly complex of all the characters in the play, Doña Croll is utterly convincing as the maternal centre, doing anything she can to keep the family together. . . As sharp now as when first performed, Talawa Theatre Company pack a powerful punch. ”
