It is about an industrial family's involvement in faulty equipment that caused the deaths of 21 pilots in World War II. The play was the first Broadway hit by Miller, who also wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Death of a Salesman."
"Miller poses questions that were as relevant in 1947 as they are today," said Rex Partington, Barter's artistic director and producer.
"On the other hand, audiences change and so the production changes . . . Just imagine how `All My Sons' spoke to people who experienced the World Wars and the wars in Korea and Vietnam, and then what it says about our world and what it means to people today."
