The Keller family home seems an archetypal image of the American dream. But dark secrets lie behind this veneer of suburban contentment. Larry Keller, a soldier in the US army, is missing. His mother, Kate, eagerly awaits his return, as his brother Chris pleads with his family to move on. As tensions rise over the course of a summer evening, horrifying truths emerge about the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of a much-loved son. Arthur Miller’s classic text grapples with far-reaching questions about our relationship with one another; questions of guilt, integrity, and how our lives are inescapably, yet inexplicably, connected.
