All My Sons
Intrepid Shakespeare Company shows that Arthur Miller's early play still packs a moral punch, and they do it by toning it down. Director Christy Yael-Cox has banished melodrama from the stage. Though this choice has some early difficulties (actors mumbling, words lost) the evening builds inexorably from silence to pyrotechnics. This is a play about resisting the truth - by different means - until too late. As Joe Keller, who should be in prison for selling the government faulty cylinder heads, Tom Stephenson deftly gives glimpses of the pressure-cooker within. As Joe's wife Kate, in adamant denial, Savvy Scopelleti makes a major contribution. As do the supporting cast and the designers. Curtis Mueller's lighting tells the whole story - from clear blue skies to gathering clouds - on the scrim.
