The 30th April and 1st may saw Massey Expressive Arts and English students in Palmerston North perform a version of Arthur Miller’s play All My Sons in the Black Sheep Theatre on Massey’s Turitea campus. The performances were directed by paper coordinator and Massey senior tutor Rachel Lenart.

Written in 1947, All My Sons is based upon a true story, which Arthur Miller’s then mother-in-law pointed out in an Ohio newspaper. The news story described how in 1941-43 the Wright Aeronautical Corporation based in Ohio had conspired with army inspection officers to approve defective aircraft engines destined for military use. The story of defective engines had reached investigators working for Sen. Harry Truman’s congressional investigative board after several Wright aircraft assembly workers informed on the company; they would later testify under oath before Congress.
