All My Sons was written by Arthur Miller (1915-2005). He wrote this play after the failure of his first play The Man Who Had All the Luck. It was a failure on Broadway because it had only lasted four performances. As a final attempt of writing a successful play, Miller had wrote All My Sons. If this play wasn’t successful, he was going to find some other line of work to do. Miller’s mother-in-law had pointed out a true story in the Ohio newspaper. The story was about a woman who talked about her dad selling faulty parts to the U.S. military in World War II. He became interested in this story.

This idea is mirrored in All My Sons. With these ideas put together, All My Sons had an immediate success with 328 performances.
All My Sons takes place on a Sunday morning in August and is set in the backyard of the Keller home.

For once in his life, he has done a terrible and tragic thing. During World War II, while rushing to meet an order for the military, he sold them defective airplane parts which caused the lives of 21 men. This was no accident. He framed his business partner, Dave, for the crime that he committed. He is now running his own job while his partner is paying Joe’s price in prison. The only person in his life that knows about this crime is his wife, Kate. She hasn’t told anybody and doesn’t plan on it either. She feels terrible because she believes that Joe is the cause of Larry’s death. Larry was their first son who had died during WWII. Now, Joe’s son Chris is in the process of marrying Dave’s daughter. Dave’s daughter, Ann, was the former fiancée of Larry. Kate totally disagrees...
