“All My Fathers is
a clever, circumspect examination of paternity and “how to find it,”
...Young’s humor is salient and sardonic. The actors are just terrific.
Yionoulis’ direction reflects the balance needed to move from the
dramatic beginning to the humorous, absurdist ending and the lovely
reconciliation at the conclusion.”

"All My Fathers is a surprisingly nimble and funny fantasia on an issue that affects all of us, even if one's family life wasn't a textbook nightmare and one's forbears have been long correctly identified. Evan Yionoulis stages these games of identity charades with fluency, slipping between reality and fantasy with supple skill."

The playwright's elderly, demented mother says he’s the bastard child of the family pediatrician. The surreal, seemingly scripted disclosure instantly rewrites his devoutly Christian, Southern upbringing. The tragicomedy incorporates Arthur Miller’s All My Sons and other family plays, such as Hamlet, Oedipus, Elektra, Well, and The Seagull.
