All My Sons (Paralimni)

H Main Stage of Satiriko Theater presents the classical masterpiece of Arthur Miller "All My Sons" translated by Errikos Belie and directed by Christos Zanos. (in Greek)

Arthur Miller’s writing in All My Sons often shows great respect for the great Grecian tragedies of the likes of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. In these plays the tragic hero or protagonist will commit an offence, often unknowingly which will return to haunt him, sometimes many years later. Also, when his offence catches up to him, the events of the play all occur within the time span of one 24 hour day. The protagonist must then learn his fault and suffer as a result, and perhaps even die. In this way the gods are shown to be just and moral order is restored. Other examples of links between All My Sons and Greek tragedy is the fact that All My Sons takes place in 24 hours and exploration of the father-son relationship.
