Theatre veteran Chung King-fai will star in a rerun of Arthur Miller's masterpiece "All My Sons" in February next year. The premiere in March this year was highly popular, recording a full house for all the performances and the additional performance.
"All My Sons" takes place around the time of the Second World War. American businessman Joe Keller is suspected of having sold defective warplane parts to the military, leading to the death of 21 aircrew members. Joe is arrested but claims he knows nothing about the matter, thus implicating his business partner Steve. Joe is discharged while Steve is indicted and imprisoned. Joe's son Larry is betrothed to Steve's daughter Ann, but he disappears along with his warplane. After the war, Joe's other son Chris helps to manage his father's business, and wants to marry Ann. Steve's son George, upon his father's order, tries to thwart them, and reveals the truth about the defective spare parts.
This acclaimed production is directed by Luther Fung and translated by Dominic Cheung. The cast also includes Patra Au, Guthrie Yip, Lai Yuk-ching, Johnson Yu, Mary Lee, Barry Chan, Ruby Chu, Andy Tang and Ngai Chi-hang.
