A new production of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons is coming to the West End, starring Olivier and Tony Award-winning actor Bryan Cranston, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and Paapa Essiedu.
The production will be directed by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Ivo van Hove (A Little Life), who is reuniting with Bryan Cranston (The Studio, Argo, Breaking Bad) following their work together on the stage adaptation of movie Network. Cranston won Best Actor Olivier and Tony Awards for the role.
All My Sons will run at the Wyndham’s Theatre in London from 14 November 2025 to 7 February 2026.
Bryan Cranston will play Joe Keller in the new production of All My Sons, a businessman whose decision to sell faulty aeroplane parts during World War II results in the deaths of 21 pilots, and centres on themes of guilt, accountability, and morality of the American Dream. His wife Kate Keller will be played by Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths), with their son Chris played by Paapa Essiedu (Black Doves). Further casting is to be announced.
The play is produced by Wessex Grove, Gavin Kalin Productions and Playful Productions.
The creative team will also include Scenic and Lighting Design by Jan Versweyveld, Costume Design by An D’Huys, Sound Design by Tom Gibbons and Casting by Julia Horan CDG. The Dramaturg is Ola Animashawun.
All My Sons will be the third Arthur Miller play that Ivo Van Hove has directed, having previously directed A View from the Bridge with Mark Strong and Nicola Walker (Young Vic, West End, Broadway), and The Crucible with Ben Whishaw, Sophie Okonedo and Saoirse Ronan (Broadway).
News of the project was first rumoured last month.

“I am thrilled to return to the West End” – Bryan Cranston
Ivo Van Hove said in a statement: “I am thrilled to return to the West End to direct All My Sons and to reunite with the great Bryan Cranston. It is also a privilege to collaborate with the brilliant Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Paapa Essiedu, whose work I have long admired. We all share a deep reverence for Arthur Miller’s powerful storytelling, and bringing this profound play to life with such an extraordinary cast is truly a dream come true. All My Sons is a devastating exploration of guilt, responsibility, and the far-reaching consequences of our choices, especially in times of war. Its themes of personal integrity and moral reckoning remain as urgent and resonant today as ever.”
Bryan Cranston said: “Arthur Miller, Ivo Van Hove, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Paapa Essiedu…If there is something that I know beyond a shadow of doubt, is to surround yourself with the most talented people. This group of creative artists has got me so excited to be a part of the All My Sons company.”
Marianne Jean-Baptiste said: “I am thrilled to get the opportunity to work with Ivo and am very excited to work with both Bryan and Paapa of whom I am a huge fan.”
