All My Sons

Ongoing | Wyndham's Theatre

Arthur Miller’s most enduring play, directed by the inimitable Ivo van Hove. His style is stripped back, meaning the focus is very much on the lives and emotions of the characters. The cast give it their all, particularly Bryan Cranston. It’s the compelling story of a son discovering his father’s lack of moral scruples. Really atmospheric and incredibly moving, make sure to take tissues.
