I’ve always thought that Arthur Miller’s All My Sons sounds like a soap opera. Certainly there is plenty of familial conflict in this post-World War II drama, but obviously the playwright brings a bit more sophistication to the dialogue than you’d find in your grandmother’s “stories.” The winner of the very first Tony Award for Best New Play in 1947 (It beat Eugene O’Neill’s stunning The Iceman Cometh), All My Sons explores the American Dream through the Keller family, who is being torn apart by a huge secret. WaterTower Theatre stacks the deck for this production with a stellar cast, including the company’s artistic director Terry Martin, who is rarely seen onstage. The show previews this weekend, with a performance at 2 p.m. Sunday, and runs through May 10. See it at the Addison Conference Center (15650 Addison Rd.). Tickets start at $20.
