Arthur Miller began writing All My Sons after hearing a true story of a woman
who turned in her father for selling defective military equipment. Miller
injected themes of family, money and father-son relationships that characterize
his best dramas. The play explores personal ethics and personal responsibility
and typifies Miller’s belief that tragedy can touch even a “common man.”
The play won the NY Drama Critic’s Circle Award for Best New Play and a Tony
Award in 1947 and established him as one of America’s premiere playwrights. It
was his first Broadway hit and would be followed soon after by his classics
Death of a Salesman, The Crucible and A View from the Bridge. Sons opened on
Broadway at the Coronet Theatre on January 29, 1947 with Ed Begley and Karl
Malden in the cast and Elia Kazan at the helm as director. A 1948 movie of the
play featured Edward G. Robinson and Burt Lancaster.
Arthur Miller is the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, three Tony Awards and the
John F Kennedy Lifetime Achievement Award, among many other honors.
