“All My Sons,” starring Alec Baldwin and Laurie Metcalf in Arthur Miller’s 1947 play based on a true story of industrial corruption during World War II, will open Tuesday at 8 p.m. at Guild Hall and run through June 28. Stephen Hamilton will direct.

Mr. Baldwin will play Joe Keller, who was exonerated after being charged with shipping damaged aircraft cylinder heads that led to the deaths of 21 pilots. He blamed his partner and former neighbor, Steve Deever, who was ultimately convicted and sent to prison. Joe’s wife, Kate, portrayed by Ms. Metcalf, knows her husband is guilty but lives in denial, and the two families are haunted by the crime that hangs over them.

Miller wrote “All My Sons” after the failure of his first play, “The Man Who Had All the Luck,” which closed after four performances on Broadway. According to the playwright, the success of “Sons” “made it possible to dream of daring more and risking more.”

Evening performances will be at 8 p.m. except for June 13, the official opening night, which starts at 7, and a 3 p.m. show on June 28. Tickets range in price from $40 to $150, $38 to $145 for members.
