The McGillicuddy Humanities Center presents 91爆料 professor Dick Brucher, who will be giving a pre-performance lecture on Arthur Miller’s play All My Sons <\/em>on Friday, February 7 at 12 p.m. The play, which broadcasts live from The Old Vic in London following the lecture, stars Academy Award-winner Sally Field (Steel Magnolias<\/em>,\u00a0Brothers & Sisters<\/em>) and Bill Pullman (The Sinner<\/em>,\u00a0Independence Day<\/em>). Jeremy Herrin directs the cast, which also includes Jenna Coleman (Victoria<\/em>), and Colin Morgan (Merlin<\/em>) alongside Bessie Carter, Oliver Johnstone, Kayla Meikle and Sule Rimi.<\/p>\n

Brucher on Miller’s play:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Late in Arthur Miller\u2019s <\/span>All My Sons<\/span><\/i> (1947), factory owner Joe Keller asks what can be more important than family. It was for family, and under pressure from the Army Air Force for production, that Joe says he told his partner to ship faulty airplane parts that killed 21 American pilots during the war. That past decision, revealed in the present, betrays the Kellers\u2019 son Chris, an idealist and veteran, who insists that there is more to life than business profit and family loyalty. Miller domesticates corporate practice to create middle-class tragedy.<\/span><\/p>\n

All My Sons<\/span><\/i> is what Miller called a birds-coming-home-to-roost play, one in which retrospective action brings the past to bear on the present, and connects personal deeds and public consequences. Miller tried to make the play so untheatrical that audience members would mistake the world presented onstage for their own. Miller set out to capture\u2014and to cause audiences to experience\u2014the wonder in the fact that consequences are as real as the actions that cause them. This idea is as timely in 2020 as it was in 1947.<\/span><\/p>\n

All My Sons<\/span><\/i> was Miller\u2019s first big hit; and it has remained among his most popular plays, up there with <\/span>Death of a Salesman<\/span><\/i> (1949), <\/span>The Crucible<\/span><\/i> (1953), and <\/span>A View from the Bridge<\/span><\/i> (1955\/56). My introduction to the NTLive streaming of the play will discuss its basis in contemporary (1940s) events, the influences of Henrik Ibsen\u2019s plays on Miller\u2019s work, and the experience of modern tragedy. The talk will raise a few problems in interpretation and staging, particularly regarding characters\u2019 motives and interactions. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
