in uncommon circumstances. This is a modern tragedy which deals with events surrounding the Keller family shortly after World War 11. Joe Keller was accused and subsequently acquitted of shipping defective airplane parts during the war, resulting in the death of 21 pilots. While Keller is let go, his partner is imprisoned. These events are complicated by the romantic relationship between Keller’s son, Chris and Ann Deever, the daughter of Joe’s imprisoned partner. The assumed death of the other Keller son, Larry, during the war and the denial of this event by the mother, Kate, is also a focus.
