Description
In this searing American tragedy, Arthur Miller explores the devastating consequences of moral compromise and wartime profiteering. When Joe Keller and his business partner Herbert Deever manufactured defective airplane parts during World War II, their actions cost countless lives—yet only Deever faced prison while Keller escaped justice and built a fortune. Years later, the return of Keller's son Chris from the war, his budding romance with Ann Deever, and the arrival of George Keller, bitter over his father's imprisonment, ignite a powder keg of family secrets and buried guilt. As the truth unravels, Miller masterfully builds toward a climax of electrifying intensity that forces each character to confront the price of their complicity and the bonds that tie them together. A powerful meditation on responsibility, redemption, and the American Dream, this play remains a haunting examination of how personal ambition can corrupt the soul.
