The Review For All My Sons Are In!
All My Sons is taking no prisoners at Wyndham’s Theatre - but only until 7 March
Arthur Miller's All My Sons has landed in the West End - with Bryan Cranston, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Paapa Essiedu, Tom Glynn-Carney and Hayley Squires leading the charge, this revival digs deep into Joe Keller - the respectable self-made businessman whose wartime success hides darker truths. As peace settles in, so does the pressure, and Joe's role in a devastating manufacturing scandal slowly bubbles to the surface.
Across two gripping, high-voltage hours, Miller's takedown of the American Dream hits harder than ever. But what did the critics think?

All My Sons Critic Reviews
"It's a quiet, timely, still production. It burns slowly, almost imperceptibly at the start, before it explodes and shatters into a million breathless pieces. Van Hove singularly removes it from its specific time period." - Broadway World
"Every scene is strong, no actor stealing the show, each raising the power of the ensemble as a whole. There is so much alchemy here it just dazzles and dazzles." - The Guardian
"Cranston is superb as a grandfatherly figure who believes he has squared his past actions with himself, because he's a pragmatist, a capitalist and because he thinks what he did was in line with the American Dream. But at the very end he is almost physically stunned to discover that he does care the revelation rips him to shred before our eyes. Marianne Jean-Baptiste is exquisite as Kate Keller: a tough, no nonsense woman for whom the death of her son Larry has become an achilles heel, a point of vulnerability in an otherwise steely character." - Time Out
"Bryan Cranston is magnetic in this masterful staging of Arthur Miller's tragedy." - The Independent
"Despite a slow start, director Ivo Van Hove has created a stunning piece of theatre. The themes of guilt and responsibility are handled beautifully, and seeing this incredible cast interact live is worth the ticket price alone. It is a powerful, moving night out that reminds us why Arthur Miller is a legend." - London Theatre Reviews.co.uk
"For the most part, van Hove stands back and lets his actors do the heavy lifting, which is a sign of a master director who understands exactly how to serve a text. The odd flourish serves either as audience relief (it's fun to see Essiedu attack the tree with a chain saw), or to underpin the play's moral warning, which can only reverberate in a Trumpian world where both domestic and foreign policy are part of "the deal." So, when Johnny Cash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down" plays during a curtain change, there's at least a little hope of some real-world justice." - The Hollywood Reporter
"Bryan Cranston and Marianne Jean-Baptiste star in a shattering take on the Miller tragedy." - The Stage
"Van Hove's production feels fresh and exciting while simultaneously staying true to the essence of the story." - All That Dazzles
"Cranston leads a superb cast in this powerful staging of Arthur Miller's 1947 drama All My Sons." - The Telegraph
