Real Life Couple Jimmy Smits and Wanda De Jesús, Play Husband and Wife in Berkeley Rep’s ‘All My Sons’
Description
Arthur Miller’s classic play “All My Sons” tells the story of a father who attains the American Dream, but at a high cost to himself and everyone around him. Nearly 80 years after the original, Berkeley Rep’s new production reimagines the play with a Puerto Rican family at the center. The main characters, Joe and Kate Keller, are played by real life couple Jimmy Smits and Wanda De Jesús. We’ll talk with the actors and director David Mendizábal about what the production has to say about the American Dream today.
