"Arthur Miller's All My Sons is an exceptional American drama that centers around the tragic cost of war and its impact on a somewhat dysfunctional family. It's a play on par with Miller's Death of a Salesman in how it addresses family dynamics, loyalty, and moral responsibility. With a talented cast and clear direction, Ghostlight Theatre is presenting a solid production of this soul searching and revelatory drama....Under the skillful direction of Richard Vines, all of the members of this cast deliver assured and believable performances. As Joe, CD Macaulay exhibits the perfect blend of fatherly compassion, neighborly chumminess, and cocky egotism, but underneath his straightforward exterior is a powerful, manipulative, and dangerous man. Susan Webster is simply superb as Kate...Her act two interaction with Ann's brother is stunningly delivered....Vines' direction ensures that all of the dramatic moments, as well as the few comical interludes from the neighbors, never turn into melodrama. The intimacy of Ghostlight's venue also allows for the audience to feel like they're right in the Keller backyard with the rest of the family and a personal witness to every shocking revelation in what is one of Arthur Miller's best plays, including the ending that packs a punch."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
