Why in heaven's name would they try to make All My Sons look like a comedy?

Worse yet, could van Hove be staging it as a comedy?

How do you get "comedy" from that ad??

I don't see "comedy", either.

Marianne Jean-Baptiste is the part that would excite me. She deserves more than an "et al" credit.

I agree that the ad is hilariously misleading. The play is a tragedy, not a quirky family comedy. But it’s Ivo van Hove, so who knows…

For starters, Cranston's twinkling eyes and amused smirk and Jean-Baptiste's contented smile. Does anything read as tragedy to you?

If someone has not taken a hit out on me here by then (kidding, I hope) I'll report back - I agree that there IS something a bit comedy vibes about the art but I highly doubt the actual production is. It's just they probably want it to appeal to a wide audience for sales purposes. The colour tone, angles etc.. also has SOME hint of darkness but the style is a bit too much "love actually".
