Arthur Miller’s All My Sons A Riveting Drama
a review by Alex Brooks
Hubbard Hall has opened a fine new production of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons, directed by Allen McCullough. McCullough is an actor based in Brooklyn (although he has deep roots in Bennington). He has a lengthy resume as an actor, but this is his debut as a director. He makes no grand directorial statements here – the set is simple, there is no music or fancy stage business or innovative interpretations – he succeeds by drawing great performances from his actors and putting the acting at the center of the production.
