Miller’s classic American drama comes to Adel

Adel Players are bringing Arthur Miller’s classic post-war play All My Sons to north Leeds next week.

The production is being staged at the Adel War Memorial Hall, LS16 8DE, from Wednesday 24 to Saturday 27 October (7.30pm).

All My Sons is a powerful examination of the relationship between fathers and sons, the conflict between business ethics and the bottom line, the price of the American dream, and the repercussions of profiting from war.

It is also an unforgettable family drama about loss, love and loyalties that escalates to an electrifying climax.

The play is the first of the 2012-13 season for Adel Players, an amateur dramatics group which was founded in 1945. Recent productions have included When We Are Married, Blithe Spirit and Arsenic and Old Lace.

Tickets for All My Sons cost £7 and bookings can be made on (0113) 2755585. Check www.adel-players.org.uk for more information and availability.
