Synopsis
[edit]Whoever decided to delete the 'All My Sons' synopsis? Why? I thought that it was a good few paragraph explaining the book and play. I'd like to see it put back. Does anyone else agree?
Does anyone have a picture of a stage production we can use as the main image instead of a film version? --In Defense of the Artist 19:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
A few on google images but i think they're all copyrighted. 172.214.123.101 20:25, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
i think that in the Plot in act 3 it's important to say that mother said to chris "don't take it on yourself, live" it's bring a good optimic ending... don't you think it should be added?
The synopsis is back - noted 24 Jan 2008
Characters
[edit]The description of Kate states that Larry is Kate's elder son, but the script states Larry would have been 27 if he was still alive. In the conversation between Joe and Frank (near the begining of the play): "Larry was born in august.He'd been twenty-seven this month." That means that he is actually the younger son?

List of productions
[edit]No other article about a play contains such a long and detailed list of productions, especially not with each production as its own top-level section. See Death of a Salesman#Productions, which describes the initial run and includes brief descriptions of some revivals, or The Iceman Cometh#Productions, which is much the same. I'm combining the first three, which seem somewhat more notable, into a single "Adaptations" section and removing those after that. Jfmantis (talk) 21:05, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
Another Part of the Forest
[edit]"All My Sons" seems to have been ripped off from "Another Part of the Forest" by Lilian Hellman, which came out a year earlier. Has there been any published accounts of this? 50.202.81.2 (talk) 10:46, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- I cannot agree. I see very few similarities other than an underlying criticism of capitalism. I'd say it's much more similar in principle to J.B. Priestly's An Inspector Calls (written the year before) in how it tests the morality of all of the characters and their parts in events leading up to the time of the play itself. But again still not so much as to say it's a rip-off. Probably not even so much as to consider it an inspiration. Hamishmcsporran (talk) 09:43, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
