Fans of Arthur Miller, great American drama and explorations of the Great American Dream, this is for you. Delaware Theatre Company will present “All My Sons,” starting this week. The story goes like this: Joe Keller’s son wants to marry the girl next door. His wife wants their estranged eldest son to come home. But a secret from Joe’s past threatens to destroy the family. Set in the days after World War II, the play won Miller the Tony for Best Play in 1947. It remains fresh as ever. See it Oct. 19-23, Oct. 26-30 and Nov. 2-6. For tickets, call 594-1100, or visit delawaretheatre.org.
